2. 16. Application of Synthetic Biology for Biopolymer Production using Saccharomyces cerevisiae

   Author : Alejandro Muñoz De Las Heras; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : Saccharomyce cerevisiae; Xylose; Poly-3-d-hydroxybutyrate PHB ; NADH; NADPH; Acetyl-CoA; Metabolic engineering;

   Abstract : Plastics are versatile, cheap and durable materials that are omnipresent in modern society. Since most of them are derived from crude oil and are not biodegradable, their production leads to the depletion of fossil fuels and the accumulation of enormous amounts of plastic waste that pollutes ecosystems worldwide.

4. 17. Phase Distribution of Mixed Biopolymer Gels in Relation to Process Conditions

   Author : Pernilla Walkenström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gelatin; whey protein; phase distribution; shear; high pressure; rheological properties; microstructure; mixed gels;

   Abstract : The influence of various process parameters on the microstructure and rheological properties of pure and mixed gels of gelatin and whey proteins has been investigated. Gelatin is a cold-set protein and whey proteins are a group of thermo-set globular proteins. Depending on the charge present, whey proteins can form two types of gel structures. READ MORE

5. 18. Mechanisms of Biopolymer Solvation: Development of a two-component ionic liquid solvent system

   Author : Susanne Bylin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ionic liquids; solvation; mechanism; xylan; lignin; cellulose; wood components;

   Abstract : Ionic liquids are of potential interest in the processing of lignocellulosic biomass, and/or its components, for the purpose of producing renewable and value-added biomaterials. An understanding of how solvation can be achieved and the way in which the feedstock biopolymers are affected, however, needs to be gained prior to a viable implementation. READ MORE

6. 19. Effect of hydration on thermodynamic, rheological and structural properties of mucin

   Author : Yana Znamenskaya; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : mucous gel; mucus; mucin; PGM; BSM; BSM chitosan multilayers; hydration; water sorption isotherm; relative humidity; water activity; bound water; enthalpy of hydration of biopolymer; glass transition; rheology; phase diagram; fiber-like structure; dumbbell-like structure; sorption calorimetry; DSC; QCM-D; SAXS; AFM;

   Abstract : Mucus, an adherent hydrated layer covering the epithelium, is found in all internal tracts of the body and plays an important role in animal and human life. One of the essential functions of mucus is protection of tissues against dehydration. READ MORE

7. 20. Interactions between polymers and the environment

   Author : Nazanin Alipour; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Antal Boldizar; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Deltamethrin; piperonyl butoxide; polyethylene; migration; multilayer film; EVOH; n-hexane; crystallization; mechanical properties; X-ray scattering; swelling; larvae; protein; lipid; moisture sorption; release; nanoclay; polypropylene; degradation; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : This dissertation addresses the structure and properties of a number of polymer-based materials when they come into contact with specific environments. The first part describes the migration and depletion of active substances from insecticide-impregnated polyethylene sheets in water and air at different humidity levels and higher temperatures.
