  2. 21. Stabilizers in crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane

    Author : Kamyar Fateh-Alavi; KTH; []
    Keywords : Polymer; Material Science; Polydimethylsiloxane; Stabilizers;

    Abstract : The loss and recovery of the surface hydrophobicity areimportant phenomena when highvoltage insulators, with a shedmaterial composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), are used. Theloss of hydrophobicity is mostly due to the oxidativecrosslinking which takes place on the PDMS surface duringexposure to electrical discharges, e. g. corona discharges. READ MORE

  4. 22. Antibacterial elastomeric materials for biomedical applications

    Author : Annija Stepulane; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydrogels; antibacterial coating; polydimethylsiloxane; elastomer blends; drug-delivery; antimicrobial peptides;

    Abstract : An ageing population in combination with scientific and clinical advancements have led to a steady increase in the use of medical devices. Elastomeric biomaterials – materials displaying rubber-like mechanics – have found widespread applicability in the production of both short- and long-term medical devices. READ MORE

  5. 23. Effect of solvents during material treatment applications : tuning hydrophilicity of silicone rubber and drug loading in mesoporous silica

    Author : Anna Hillerström; Jan van Stam; Lennart Piculell; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solvents; liquid carbon dioxide; Interpenetrating Polymer Network IPN ; silicone rubber; hydrophilic; phase domains; mesoporous silica; ibuprofen; adsorption isotherms; release; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Choosing the right solvent is critical for many industrial applications. A useful property for selection of solvents is their solubility parameters. This concept of solubility parameters is central to this thesis and has been used in two different case studies of material treatment applications. READ MORE

  6. 24. Heterogeneous Technologies for Microfluidic Systems

    Author : Gunjana Sharma; Klas Hjort; Sami Franssila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : actuator; biosensor; fluidic circuit board; heterogeneous technology; ion track; microfluidic; pump; stainless steel; super-hydrophobic; valve; Viton; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot mikrosystemteknik; Engineering Science with specialization in Microsystems Technology;

    Abstract : In this thesis, conventional and unconventional technologies have been studied and combined in order to make heterogeneous microfluidics with potential advantages, especially in biological applications. Many conventional materials, like silicon, glass, thermoplastic polymers, polyimide and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) have been combined in building heterogeneous microfluidic devices or demonstrators.

  7. 25. Improved Techniques for Sampling and Sample Introduction in Gas Chromatography

    Author : Jonas Bonn; Johan Roeraade; Åsa Emmer; Mikael Hedenqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gaskromatografi; Provupparbetning; Provintroduktion; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : Sampling and sample introduction are two key steps in quantitative gas chromatography. In this thesis, a development of a previously described sampling technique as well as a novel concept for sample introduction in gas chromatography are presented. The thesis is based on two papers.
