  2. 6. Tailoring and Characterization of Polymer-linked Fibrillar Structures

    Author : Maria F. Cortes Ruiz; Lars Wågberg; Peter Olsén; Michael Malkoch; Gil Garnier; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose nanofibrils; hydrogels; cellulose fibres; functionalisation; structure-property relationships.; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The development of sustainable and renewable materials is paramount in today’s society. As the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, cellulose from cellulose-rich fibres is an excellent alternative for advanced and innovative material solutions. READ MORE

  4. 7. The synthesis of dendritic hydrogels and inorganic nanoparticles and their application as antibacterial and imaging materials

    Author : Yanmiao Fan; Michael Malkoch; Annelie Brauner; Mauri Kostiainen; KTH; []
    Keywords : antibacterial hydrogels; dendritic polymers; dendrimers; silicon nanoparticles; cellulose nanofibrils; drug-resistant bacteria; wound dressings; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : AbstractThe overuse and misuse of conventional antibiotics has caused increased prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria, the infections of which cause high mortality and economic losses per year. It is therefore crucial to develop new technologies and treatments for infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. READ MORE

  5. 8. Thiol-Ene/Yne Adhesives for Tissue Fixation

    Author : Viktor Granskog; Michael Malkoch; Philip Messersmith; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The utilization of adhesives in surgery has not reached its full potential and research in the field is encouraged by the surgeons’ desire for improved alternatives to today’s tissue fixation strategies. Here, adhesive resins based on thiol-ene coupling (TEC) chemistry or thiol-yne coupling (TYC) chemistry are exploited to develop tissue adhesives that cure fast and on-demand via photoinitiation.

  6. 9. Multifunctional Dendritic Scaffolds: Synthesis, Characterization and Potential applications

    Author : Yvonne Hed; Michael Malkoch; Mats Andersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dendrimer; AB2C monomer; Click chemistry; CuAAC; thiol-ene coupling chemistry; TEC; linear dendritic hybrids; micelle; hydrogel; bone adhesive;

    Abstract : The development of materials for advanced applications requires innovative macromolecules with well-defined structures and the inherent ability to be tailored in a straightforward manner. Dendrimers, being a subgroup of the dendritic polymer family, possess properties which fulfill such demands. READ MORE

  7. 10. Bacterial adhesion to polyelectrolyte modified materials based on nanocellulose

    Author : Jonatan Henschen; Lars Wågberg; Per Larsson; Josefin Larsson; Aji Mathew; Michael Malkoch; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bacterial adhesion; cellulose nanofibrils; polymer adsorption; polyvinylamine; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Since the introduction of materials based on cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), these materials have been studied extensively and are suggested to be suitable for use in, for example, hygiene and health care products. A property not very well studied but that could further increase the usability of CNF products is the possibility of controlling bacterial adhesion to the materials. READ MORE
