  2. 1. Novel Gemini Surfactants Based on Natural Products Aggregation Behaviour in Aqueous Solutions

    Author : El-Ouafi Alami; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cyclodextrin; micelles; NMR self-diffusion; heterogemini surfactant; adsorption; micellar model; small-angle neutron-scattering; surface tension;

    Abstract : There is currently much interest in using natural products to obtain novel types of surfactants. One of the reasons for increasing the proportion of surfactants based on natural products and replacing products based on petroleum raw materials is the growing concern about the environment.

  4. 2. Localisation of Fluorescent Probes and the estimation of Lipid Nanodomain sizes by modern fluorescence techniques

    Author : Radek Sachl; Lennart B-Å Johansson; Martin Hof; Mats Almgren; Tomas Obsil; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electronic energy transfer; fluorescence; rafts; lipid bilayer; bicelles; micelles; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : The thesis is divided into two major parts. The first part focuses on the localisation of probes in lipid/polymeric bilayers and in GM1 micelles. Included in this thesis is a new approach based on electronic energy transfer/migration (FRET/DDEM), which efficiently determines transversal positions of fluorescent molecules in lipid bilayers.

  5. 3. From Macromolecular Design to Supramolecular Self-assembly

    Author : Lidija Glavas; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Karin Odelius; Matthew Becker; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self-assembly; micelles; core crystallinity; cyclic polypeptides; electroactivity; redox-responsiveness; triggered dissociation; loading; release; N-carboxyanhydride polymerization; polyesters; poly ε-decalactone ; Självorganisation; miceller; kärnkristallinitet; cykliska polypeptider; elektroaktivitet; tidsberoende dissociation; inkapsling; frisläppning; N-karboxyanhydrid polymerisation; polyestrar; poly ε-dekalakton ; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Advancements in drug delivery have enabled a wider array of prevention, control and treatment of diseases such as cancer. Drug delivery systems have the possibility of encapsulating drugs with low solubility, delivering them to specific locations in the body as well as obtaining a controlled and sustained drug release.

  6. 4. Aqueous behaviour of characteristic molecules in the synthesis of porous silica materials : - an atomistic description

    Author : Emelie Nilsson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; porous silica; struture directing agents; 29Si-NMR; neutron scattering; empirical potentail structure refinement; micelles;

    Abstract : The formation process of porous silica materials is an intricate process, involving a number of components that interact to form a highly organized material. Both zeolites and mesoporous silica materials typically require the presence of organic structure director agents (SDAs) around which the silica network polymerizes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Physico-chemical characterisation of novel surfactants

    Author : Britta M. Folmer; KTH; []
    Keywords : Natural raw materials; novel hydrophobes; physico-chemical characterisation; micelles; interfacial adsorption; liquid crystals; enzymes; polymers; complex formation; foam;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis has been to investigate thephysico-chemical behaviour of novel surfactants based onnatural raw materials. Micellization properties, adsorptionatinterfaces and dynamic aspects have been studied. In additioncomplex formation of surfactants with enzymes and polymers hasbeen evaluated. READ MORE
