  2. 1. Protein adducts of hexahydrophthalic anhydride- chemical structures and biomarkers

    Author : Monica Kåredal; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin; industrial medicine; Occupational health; nasal lavage; mass spectrometry; biomarker; human serum albumin; hemoglobin; Hexahydrophthalic anhydride; adducts;

    Abstract : Organic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are low molecular weight chemicals used in the industry for manufacturing of plastics such as epoxy resins. Exposure to these chemicals may lead to symptoms from the eyes and the respiratory tract in form of conjunctivitis, rhinitis and asthma. READ MORE

  4. 2. Protein adducts in plasma as biomarkers of exposure to and risk of organic acid anhydrides

    Author : Seema Rosqvist; Neurokirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GC-MS; IgG; IgE; exposure-response; serum albumin; biological monitoring; Hexahydrophthalic anhydride; methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride; OEL; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin;

    Abstract : Organic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are important industrial chemicals but also potent inducers of airways diseases. Many exposed workers develop specific IgE and IgG antibodies. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) and methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) are two particularly sensitising OAAs. READ MORE

  5. 3. Metabolism and Biological Monitoring of Organic Acid Anhydrides

    Author : Christian Lindh; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rats; human; distribution; analysis; biological monitoring; autoradiography; adducts; hemoglobin; plasma; urine; Hexahydrophthalic anhydride; methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride; guinea pigs; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to describe the metabolism and to develope methods for biological monitoring for two organic acid anhydrides (OAAs), namely hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) and methylhexa-hydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA). The OAAs are reactive, low molecular weight chemicals used in vast quantities in the industry. READ MORE

  6. 4. Covalent Surface Modification of Degradable Polymers for Increased Biocompatibility

    Author : Martina Källrot; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Mikael Lindström; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vapor phase grafting; covalent surface modification; solvent free; nano patterned topography; degradable polymers; poly ε-caprolactone ; poly L-lactide ; poly lactide-co-glycolide ; poly trimethylene carbonate ; N-vinylpyrrolidone; maleic anhydride; acrylamide; Gasfasympning; kovalent ytmodifiering; lösningsmedelsfri; nedbrytbara polymerer; nanomönstrad topografi; poly L-laktid ; poly ε-kaprolakton ; poly laktid-co-glykolid ; poly trimetylen karbonat ; N-vinylpyrrolidon; maleinsyraanhydrid; akrylamid; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Degradable polymers have gained an increased attention in the field of biomedical applications over the past decades, for example in tissue engineering. One way of improving the biocompatibility of these polymers is by chemical surface modification, however the risk of degradation during the modification procedure is a limiting factor. READ MORE

  7. 5. Steric Stabilization of Polylactide particles achieved by Covalent 'grafting-from' with Hydrophilic Polymers

    Author : Robertus Wahyu Nayan Nugroho; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Karin Odelius; Anders Höglund; Mark Rutland; Martina Janstål; KTH; []
    Keywords : Steric stabilization; AFM; hydrophilicity; surface modification; poly lactide ; acrylamide; acrylic acid; maleic anhydride;

    Abstract : Despite numerous advantages of using particles in a wide range of applications, they have one drawback that is their tendency to agglomerate. One way to overcome this problem is to sterically  stabilize the particles by introducing polymeric  chains covalently attached to the surface. READ MORE
