6. Fundamental Studies on Molecularly Imprinted Materials
Abstract : The thesis focuses on fundamental studies aimed at elucidating factors that influence molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) formation and ligand recognition. To this end, a series of computational techniques, in particular chemometrics and molecular dynamics (MD) in conjunction with polymer synthesis and physical characterization studies have been employed.

7. Chemoinformetics for green chemistry
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development of quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSPR) models for physicochemical properties, e.g., vapor pressure and partitioning coefficients. Such models can be used to estimate environmental distribution and transformation of the pollutants or to characterize solvents properties. READ MORE

8. Strategies for developing peptide and protein selective plastic antibodies
Abstract : The objective of the thesis was to explore approaches for the development of molecularly imprinted materials with predetermined selectivity for peptide or protein targets. In particular, the work has focused on molecularly imprinted nanoparticles synthesized using solid-phase synthesis protocols. READ MORE

9. New Strategies for Preparing Polymers with Hierarchical Architectures
Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to explore novel approaches for controlling morphologies and molecular recognition behaviour of polymers and to use these strategies in conjunction with the molecular imprinting technique in order to either enhance polymer performance in quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor applications, or as an alternative to conventional solvents of polymerization. In Papers I and II, the use of liquid crystalline media in the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers was demonstrated. READ MORE

10. Interactions between platelets and complement with implications for the regulation at surfaces
Abstract : Disturbances of host integrity have the potential to evoke activation of innate immunologic and hemostatic protection mechanisms in blood. Irrespective of whether the activating stimulus is typically immunogenic or thrombotic, it will generally affect both the complement system and platelets to a certain degree. READ MORE
