2. 1. Bioresorbable copolymers with tailored properies : innovative materials för soft tissuel engineering

   Author : Natalia Andronova; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Pieter Dijkstra; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; poly 1; 5-dioxepan-2-one ; poly ε-caprolactone ; poly L-lactide ; poly trimethylene carbonate ; triblock; network; cyclic tin alkoxide; controlled coordination-insertion ring-opening polymerization; thermoplastic elastomers; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : The emerging need for new synthetic materials for soft tissue engineering applications encourages the search for innovative polymers having interesting properties. Ring-opening polymerization of lactones and lactides initiated by tin alkoxides has received particular attention due to the versatility of the method for building up well-defined biodegradable structures.

4. 2. The Interaction between Triblock Copolymers and Surfactants in Dilute Aqueous Solution

   Author : Jörgen Jansson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer technology; biopolymers; Polymerteknik; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Calorimetry; SAXS; DLS; SLS; Light scattering; Structure; Complex; Block copolymer-surfactant interaction; Block copolymer vesicles; Self-assembly; Triblock copolymers; NMR;

   Abstract : The solution properties of dilute aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymers and their interaction with surfactants have been investigated using static and dynamic light scattering, combined with small angle X-ray scattering, calorimetry and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. In aqueous solution, the triblock copolymers P123 and F127 (EO20PO68EO20 and EO97PO68EO97, respectively) form micelles with a PPO core and a PEO corona. READ MORE

5. 3. Adsorption Properties of Triblock Copolymers at Solid Surfaces

   Author : Krister Eskilsson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Ellipsomery; Surface force; Adsorption; Triblock Copolymer;

   Abstract : The interfacial behaviour of nonionic triblock copolymers of the type poly(ethylene oxide-tetrahydrofurane-ethylene oxide) has been systematically examined at different types of surfaces. It is shown how the chemical nature of the substrate greatly influences the adsorption behaviour of block copolymers. READ MORE

6. 4. Mesoporous Silica Formed with Triblock Copolymers

   Author : Katarina Flodström; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysikalisk kemi; 1H NMR; TEM; SAXS; in situ; mechanism of formation; cubic Ia3d; cubic Im3m; Mesoporous; synthesis; Pluronic; SBA-16; SBA-15; hexagonal p6mm; synchrotron SAXS; Physical chemistry; amphiphilic polymers; silica;

   Abstract : The formation of highly ordered mesoporous silica materials, using PEO-PPO-PEO amphiphilic triblock copolymers (so-called Pluronics) as structure directing agents, has been studied. The materials are formed through the addition of a silica source to a polymer solution of low concentration (2.5 wt ) under acidic conditions. READ MORE

7. 5. Novel Possibilities for Advanced Molecular Structure Design for Polymers and Networks

   Author : Anna Finne; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ring-opening polymerization; coordination-insertion; germanium; cyclic tin alkoxides; spirocyclic initiators; poly L-lactide ; poly 1; 5-dioxepan-2-one ; triblock; star-shaped; network; functionalization; morphology; AFM; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : Synthetic and degradable polymers are an attractive choicein many areas, since it is possible to control the way in whichthey are manufactured; more specifically, pathways tomanipulate the architecture, the mechanical properties and thedegradation times have been identified. In this work,L-lactide, 1,5-dioxepan-2-one and ε-caprolactone were usedas monomers to synthesize polymers with different architecturesby ring-opening polymerization. READ MORE
