1. Nanopolysaccharide coatings for functional surfaces in water-treatment materials : From mechanisms to process scalability
Abstract : In this thesis, materials from renewable resources were used to develop functionalized surfaces for water treatment. The work is thus inspired by, and contributes to, the United Nations sustainable goals of: (i) clean water and sanitation, (ii) climate action, (iii) responsible consumption and production, (iv) life below water, and (v) partnerships for the goals.

2. Surface characterization and force measurements applied to industrial materials with atomic force microscopy
Abstract : The thesis focuses on the application of force measurements with atomic force microscopy (AFM) on materials with a few surface contacts/asperities and chemically modified surfaces. The technique allows measurements of ultra-small intermolecular and surface forces, down to the piconewton level. READ MORE

5. Functionalization, Characterization and Applications of Oxidized Nanocellulose Derivatives
Abstract : Cellulose, a sustainable raw material derived from nature, can be used for various applications following its functionalization and oxidation. Nanocellulose, inheriting the properties of cellulose, can offer new properties due to nanoscale effects, in terms of high specific surface area and porosity. READ MORE
