  2. 1. Biomolecule Trapping With Stimuli-Responsive Polymer Coated Nanostructures

    Author : Justas Svirelis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomolecule transportation; protein interaction; polymer brushes; quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring; fluorescence microscopy; Poly N-Isopropylacrylamide ; surface plasmon resonance; poly ethylene glycol ;

    Abstract : Trapping biomolecules in nanosized gaps is of great interest in novel systems for single molecule analysis and membranes, which filter biomolecules. Current platforms are lacking in full functionality to facilitate biomolecule trapping and transport in their native environment and without covalent tethering to surfaces. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization of Surfaces Designed for Biomedical Applications

    Author : Emma Kristensen; Hans Siegbahn; Rolf Larsson; Sven Oscarsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Physics; heparin; photoelectron spectroscopy; phosphorylcholine; biomaterial; quartz crystal dissipation; Fysik; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : In order to develop blood biocompatible materials a heparin surface and a phosphorylcholine (PC) functionalized polymer surface were characterized using photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). The formation of the heparin surface was studied by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). READ MORE
