1. Macroscopic Volume and Free Volume of Polymer Blends and Pressure-densified Polymers
Abstract : The macroscopic volume V as a function of pressure P and temperature T is obtained from PVT measurements. PVT data is sensitive to the state of polymers and changes therein. Moreover, PVT data gives access to the free-volume fraction. READ MORE

2. Conformational and Dynamical Aspects of Conjugated Polymers and Oligomers of Interest for Photoluminescence
Abstract : Transient absorption laser spectroscopy and resonance Raman spectrscopy have been used to study conjugated polymers and oligomers. To extract more information the measurements have been compared to computer simulations and calculations. READ MORE

3. Crystallinity and Morphology of Starch Polymers in Films
Abstract : Starch is a renewable material that can be converted into biodegradable plastic products, or films with excellent oxygen barrier properties. Films of potato starch, amylose, amylopectin and blends thereof were made by solution casting. READ MORE

4. Water diffusion and free volume in hydrophilic polymers
Abstract : During moisture uptake in polymers, the diffusion of the water molecules is believed to occur via unoccupied voids. These voids are called free volume cavities and their sizes are continuously altered when the moisture content in the polymer is enhanced. READ MORE

5. Modification of stable and degradable polymers by heterogeneous grafting
Abstract : This thesis summarizes the investigations of the electronbeam initiated grafting of a hydrophilic monomer, acrylamide(AAm), onto three polymers; linear low density poly(ethylene)(LLDPE), poly(&-caprolactone) (PCL) and chemicallycrosslinked poly( 1,5-dioxepan-2-one) (PDXO-X). LLDPE and PCLare semicrystalline and PDXO-X is fully amorphous. READ MORE
