1. Phase Phenomena in Polymer Networks : Empirical Studies on the Influence of Hydrophobicity, Charge Density and Crosslinks on Macroion-Induced Phase Transitions in Polyelectrolyte Gels
Abstract : The thesis concerns polyelectrolyte gels in contact with oppositely charged proteins and surfactant micelles, and includes of four papers (I-IV). In paper I confocal Raman spectroscopy was introduced as a method to trace micelles and investigate the structure of gel-surfactant complexes, in phase separated gel spheres. READ MORE

2. Mechanical considerations in the design of high-precision surface micromachined devices
Abstract : Many mechanical properties of surface micromachined devices, such as strength and elastic properties, depend on the manufacturing process and are therefore unique to the device. In order to achieve higher precision, it is essential that correct mechanical characteristics are used in the work of designing devices. READ MORE

3. Interaction between Crosslinked Polyelectrolyte Gels and Oppositely Charged Surfactants
Abstract : The interactions between anionic, crosslinked gels and cationic surfactants have been investigated. When exposed to oppositely charged surfactant, the gel collapses into a dense complex of polyion and micelles. READ MORE

4. Interaction Between Microgels and Oppositely Charged Proteins
Abstract : This thesis reports on interactions between microgels and oppositely charged proteins. Two types of negatively charged microgels are investigated: poly(acrylic acid) microgels of 60-80 µm in diameter, and colloidal poly(NIPAM-co-acrylic acid) microgels of around 1 µm in diameter.

5. Interaction Between Microgels and Oppositely Charged Peptides
Abstract : Lightly cross-linked polyelectrolyte microgels are materials with interesting properties for a range of applications. For instance, the volume of these particles can be drastically changed in response to pH, ionic strength, temperature, or the concentration of specific ions and metabolites. READ MORE
