2. 11. Designing Polymers for Biological Interfaces - From Antifouling to Drug Delivery

   Author : Pontus Lundberg; Michael Malkoch; Anders Hult; Scott M. Grayson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Abstract : Unspecific interactions, at the interface between a synthetic material and an aqueous biological environment, leading to irreversible protein adsorption can cause to undesired consequences. These include fouling of a boat hull or a triggered immune response. READ MORE

4. 12. Flow over rough surfaces, and conjugate heat transfer, in engineering applications

   Author : Bercelay Niebles Atencio; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Naphthalene Sublimation Tecnhique; Antifouling paint; convective heat transfer; Roughness Function; correlation; CFD; RANS; stator channel; electric generator; Impinging Jet; Skin-Friction Drag; Rotating Disk; Ship Hull;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on two important topics in the field of fluid mechanics and heat transfer that were treated separately. On the one hand, the flow over rough surfaces, which is not yet completely understood, despite of the fact that it has an important implication in many engineering applications, especially in the naval industry for ships and boats because the friction drag caused by fouling, antifouling coatings and roughness in general impacts the fuel consumption and toxic emissions to the atmosphere.

5. 13. Exploring the (re-)configuration of environmentally unsustainable practices - Antifouling in the Baltic Sea

   Author : Bianca Koroschetz; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sustainable consumption; reconfiguration of practices; linkages Fritidsbåtar miljöaspekter; Konsumtion miljöaspekter; Konsumentpsykologi miljöaspekter;

   Abstract : This thesis explores how to (re-)configure environmentally unsustainable practices into more sustainable forms in the empirical context of leisure boat antifouling. Current antifouling practices predominantly involve the use of biocide-based paint to avoid the adherence of marine organisms to boats. READ MORE

6. 14. The influence of salinity and antifouling agents on Baltic Sea Fucus vesiculosus with emphasis on reproduction

   Author : Sylvia Andersson; Stockholms universitet; []

7. 15. Synthetic studies of marine indole alkaloids and related systems

   Author : Ann-Louise Jonsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Marine indole alkaloids; antifouling; synthesis; diketopiperazines; HWE-reaction; bis indole alkaloids; imidates; carbazole alkaloids;

   Abstract : This thesis is mainly focussed oil the synthesis of marine indole alkaloids and related systems, many of which display interesting biological activities. In the first part of this thesis we could establish and confirm the stucture of barettin and 8,9dihydrobarettin, isolated from the marine sponge Geodia baretti. READ MORE
