2. 1. Modification of Surface Properties Through Polymer Adsorption. Kinetics, Interaction, Degradation and Stability

   Author : Dries Muller; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TIRF.; protein; poly lactide ; poly ethylene oxide ; gelatin; exchange; enzyme; ellipsometry; desorption; degradation; adsorption; copolymers; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : The interfacial behaviour of polymers in relation to surface modification and polymer degradation was studied. In the first part the interfacial behaviour of amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(D,L-lactide) (EmLn) diblock copolymers at hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates from aquous solution was studied.

4. 2. Ellipsometry studies of liquid interfaces: New methodology and applications

   Author : Jan-Willem Benjamins; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface and boundary layery chemistry; Ytkemi; gränsskikt; phospholipids; lactoglobulin; air water; oil water; block copolymers; nonionic surfactants; Brewster angle microscopy; Ellipsometry; adsorption;

   Abstract : Adsorption of several surface active agents, such as nonionics, diblock copolymers, triblock copolymers, proteins and phospholipids at the oil/water and air/water has been studied. In order to be able to do this, a new ellipsometry setup, which utilizes light guides, was developed and tested. READ MORE

5. 3. Versatile Association Behavior in Mixtures of Oppositely Charged Amphiphiles : From DNA-Like Assembly of Supramolecular Helices to Coacervation in Chiral Surfactant Systems

   Author : Guanqun Du; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bile salts; Block copolymers; Oppositely charged polymer-surfactant systems; Co-assembly; BS sequestrants; Gemini surfactants; Supramolecular helices; Hexagonal packing; Chirality; Thermoresponsive behavior; Scattering; Tomography; Calorimetry;

   Abstract : As biological surfactants, bile salts (BSs), play important roles in biological processes, i.e., food digestion, but also in BS-related diseases, as well as in applications. READ MORE

6. 4. Adsorption behaviour of bottle-brush and block copolymers at solid-liquid interfaces

   Author : Geoffrey Olanya; Per M. Claesson; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adsorption; Lubrication; Layer viscoelasticity; Protein repellency; Polymer architecture; Silica; Bottle-brush polymers; Poly ethylene oxide ; PEO; Block copolymer; Poly N-isopropylacrylamide ; QCM-D; AFM; Reflectometry; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Abstract : This thesis was spurred on by needs of current scientific and technological developments in the area of surface modification by use of adsorbed polymer layers. The importance of surface properties of polymer layers can be imparted in a broad spectrum of interfacial-related applications like lubrication, colloidal stability, detergency, and protein resistant surfaces, to just mention a few.

7. 5. Mixed Block Copolymer Solutions: Self-Assembly and Interactions

   Author : Solmaz Bayati; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer; Block Copolymer; PEO-PPO-PEO; Pluronics©; Bile Salt; NaGDC; PNIPAAM; PAMPTMA; PAMPS; Mixed Micelle; Self-Assembly; Mixed Complexes;

   Abstract : This thesis incorporates studies on the aqueous systems of two types of thermoresponsive amphiphilic block copolymers; a series of nonionic triblock copolymers comprising blocks of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) denoted as PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers, and a series of ionic diblock copolymers consisting of one charged block and one block of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM). Various techniques, such as dynamic and static light scattering (DLS and SLS), small angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS), high sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (HSDSC), turbidimetry, electrophoretic mobility measurements, and two-dimensional proton NMR nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (2D 1H NMR NOESY), were applied to study these block copolymer systems.
