  2. 1. Formation and properties of polyelectrolyte multilayers on wood fibres : influence on paper strength and fibre wettability

    Author : Rikard Lingström; Lars Wågberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polyelectrolyte; multilayer; adsorption; reflectance; contact angle; dynamics; paper; mechanical properties; individual; wood fibre; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : The work in this licentiate thesis examines the adsorption of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) onto wood fibres as a new way to influence the properties of the fibre surfaces and hence the fibres. Fundamental aspects of PEM formation on wood fibres have been studied, and discussed in terms of paper strength and wood fibre wettability. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the Adhesion Between Substrates Covered with Polyelectrolyte Multilayers

    Author : Rikard Lingström; Lars Wågberg; Lennart Piculell; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fibre; polyelectorlyte; multilayer; wettability; contact angle; paper strength; atomic force microscopy; surface force apparatus; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the formation of Polyelectrolyte Multilayers (PEM) on cellulose fibres as a new way of influencing the fibre surface and the adhesion between wood fibres. The aim of the study was to enhance the fundamental understanding of the adsorption mechanisms behind the formation of Polyelectrolyte Multilayers on cellulose fibres; to study how the properties of the layers can be influenced and to show how the properties of the layers influence the adhesion between the fibres and the strength of paper sheets made from the PEM treated fibres.

  5. 3. Polyelectrolyte complexes : their preparation, adsorption behaviour and effect on paper properties

    Author : Caroline Ankerfors; Lars Wågberg; Monica Ek; Tom Lindström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : In this work, the formation of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) has been studied using a jet mixing method not previously used for mixing polyelectrolytes. The PECs were formed from two weak polyelectrolytes, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modification of polymeric particles via surface grafting for 3D scaffold design

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; surface grafting; PLA; PLLA; hydrophilic polymers; particles; geometry; steric stabilization; atomic force microscopy AFM ; polyelectrolyte multilayers; 3D scaffold; bone tissue engineering; surface degradation;

    Abstract : Surface modification techniques have played important roles in various aspects of modern technology. They have been employed to improve substrates by altering surface physicochemical properties. READ MORE

  7. 5. Polyelectrolyte complexes : Preparation, characterization, and use for control of wet and dry adhesion between surfaces

    Author : Caroline Ankerfors; Lars Wågberg; Regine von Klitzing; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis examines polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) preparation, adsorption behaviour, and potential use for control of wet and dry adhesion between surfaces. PEC formation was studied using a jet-mixing method not previously used for mixing polyelectrolytes. READ MORE
