    Abstract : Nanocelluloses have attracted great interest during recent decades owing to their renewability, abundancy and remarkable physical and mechanical properties. The aim of this work was to investigate new strategies for surface modification and functionalization of nanocelluloses and their subsequent incorporation in polymer-host matrices. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nanolatexes: a versatile toolbox for cellulose modification

    Author : Alexandros Efraim Alexakis; Eva Malmström; Justin Zoppe; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanolatexes; RAFT; PISA; adsorption; cellulose; modification; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Cellulosic materials are widely used in our everyday lives, ranging from paperand packaging to biomedical applications. However, in most applications, cellulose must coexist with hydrophobic polymers which can be challenging due to its hydrophilic character. This has encouraged the exploration of chemical and physical modifications of cellulose. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Beads-Synthesis, Evaluation and Applications

    Author : Tongchang Zhou; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : Molecularly imprinted polymer beads; Pickering emulsion; RAFT; water-compatible;

    Abstract : Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial receptors designed for the selective recognition of template molecules. These polymers have been applied in analytical separations, as chemical sensors and in drug delivery system due to their low cost and high stability. READ MORE
