  2. 6. Synthesis of AcGGM Polysaccharide Hydrogels

    Author : Laleh Maleki; Ulrica Edlund; Anette Larsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hemicellulose; O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan; wood hydrolysate; hydrogel; radical polymerization; interpenetrating polymer network; click chemistry; thiol-ene; Michael addition; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass is believed to serve a prominent role in tomorrow’s sustainable energy and material development. Among the polysaccharide fractions of lignocellulosic biomass, the potential of hemicelluloses as a valuable material resource is increasingly recognized. READ MORE

  4. 7. Injectable Composite Hydrogels Based on Metal-Ligand Assembly for Biomedical Applications

    Author : Liyang Shi; Jöns Hilborn; Dmitri Ossipov; Wenxin Wang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; injectable; hydrogel; shear-thinning; self-healing; coordination chemistry; biomedical applications;

    Abstract : This thesis presents new strategies to construct injectable hydrogels and their various biomedical applications, such as 3D printing, regenerative medicine and drug delivery. These hydrogels cross-linked by dynamic metal-ligand coordination bonds exhibit shear-thinning and self-healing properties, resulting in the unlimited time window for injection. READ MORE

  5. 8. Wood-Based Nanocellulose In Lithium Ion Batteries and Electrochemical Coatings

    Author : Hyeyun Kim; Ann M. Cornell; Davide Beneventi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose nanofibers; lithium ion battery; separator; electro-precipitation; hydrogel; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Lithium ion batteries contain diverse functional polymeric materials, e.g. binders and separators. Naturally self-assembled wood cellulose can be disintegrated to nanosized particles with a diversity of morphology by top-down processes, adjusting the manufacturing parameters. READ MORE

  6. 9. Modification and Utilization of Nanotube-vesicle Networks

    Author : Martin Markström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanotechnology; diffusion; network; nanotube; biomimetic; hydrogel; vesicle; compartmentalization; poly N-isopropyl acrylamide ; Marangoni; liposome;

    Abstract : Methods based on self-assembly and self-organization for construction of lipid bilayer networks, consisting of vesicles (3-100 μm in diameter) connected by conduits (50-300 nm in diameter), have previously been developed. Control over network geometry, topology, content, and membrane composition has been demonstrated. READ MORE

  7. 10. Chemical Pathways to Electrically Conductive Hemicellulose Hydrogels

    Author : Weifeng Zhao; Ann-Chiristine Albertsson; Ulrica Edlund; Karin Odelius; Elisabet Brännvall; Peter Plikk; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrically conductive; hemicellulose; hydrogels; swelling behavior; aniline oligomers; renewable; polymer synthesis; Elektriskt ledande; hemicellulosa; hydrogel; svällning; anilinoligomerer; förnyelsebar; polymersyntes; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Hydrogels have been extensively explored and are widely used in diverse biomedical applications, such as scaffolds for tissue engineering and vehicles for drug delivery. As one type of important natural polymer-based hydrogel, hemicellulose hydrogels have interesting attributes, including being renewable, non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and abundantly available.
