  2. 1. Biomonitoring of epichlorohydrin and some related compounds

    Author : Helena Hindsø Landin; Bo Jönsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biomarkers; DNA Adducts; Epichlorohydrin; Glycidol; Hemoglobin adducts.; Physical Biology; fysikalisk biologi;

    Abstract : This thesis considers epichlorohydrin (ECH), an important industrial chemical, that has been shown to be a carcinogen in experimental animals. The aim of this work is to improve the scientific basis for risk estimation of ECH and to suggest a reliable biomonitoring method for exposure. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantitative analysis of DNA adducts formed by some epoxides of industrial importance

    Author : Kamila Plná; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : DNA adducts; 32P-postlabelling; cancer; genotoxicity; occupational; epoxides; allyl glycidyl ether; propylene oxide; epichlorohydrin;

    Abstract : The work presented herein has focused on DNA adduct formation by three industrial epoxides, allyl glycidyl ether, propylene oxide and epichlorohydrin. Epoxides, owing to the strained oxirane ring are chemically reactive and can alkylate various sites in DNA. READ MORE

    Keywords : Hemicellulose; O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan; hydrogels; stimuli-responsive; aniline tetramer; aniline pentamer; electro-active; conductivity; pH-sensitivity; magnetic field-responsive; micro-gels; swelling; drug delivery.; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Hemicellulose is the second most abundant component in wood and is an important renewable resource  that is used in films, paper composites and biofuels.  Hemicelluloses  have  several  advantages,  including  their abundance,  degradability  and  renewability. READ MORE

  6. 4. Protein-Based Adhesives for Particleboards

    Author : Sara Khosravi; Mats Johansson; A. A Broekhuis; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The main objective of this study was to elucidate the possibilities to use wheat gluten (WG) as a binder for particleboards, as well as soy protein isolate (SPI). The focus was on the effect of the adhesive formulation and the processing conditions, while the press parameters were kept constant. READ MORE

  7. 5. Evaluation of polysucrose 15000 as a marker of intestinal permeability

    Author : Hans Öman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Polysucrose Permeability Intestinal Absorption Cell Memhrane Permeahility Molecular WeightMacromolecular systems Biological Markers Biological Transport Crohn Disease Arthritis; RheumatoidAnti-lnflammatory Agents; Non-Steroidal Chromium Radioisotop;

    Abstract : Polysucrose (PS) is a synthetic copolymer of sucrose and epichlorohydrin, which can be produced in a variety of molecular sizes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the functionality of PS 15000, mean mol wt 14700, as a marker for intestinal permeability to macro molecules. READ MORE
