  2. 21. Multifunctional Nanocellulose Composite Materials

    Author : Olof Eskilson; Daniel Aili; Robert Selegård; Erik Martinsson; Aji Mathew; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanomaterials; nanocomposites; bacterial cellulose; wound care; plasmonics; catalysis;

    Abstract : Nanoparticles (NPs) are particles with more than one dimension between 1 and 100 nm. Because of their small size, they typically display different physical and chemical properties than the corresponding bulk materials. NPs have been used in many different applications, such as in electronics, optics, catalysis, and in biomedicine. READ MORE

    Author : Hector Martinez Avila; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nasoseptal Chondrocytes; Tissue Engineering; Auricular Cartilage; Auricular reconstruction; Bacterial Nanocellulose; Neocartilage; Nanofibrillated Cellulose; Mononuclear Cells; 3D Bioprinting;

    Abstract : In about 2:10,000 births the external part of the ear, the auricle, is severely malformed or absent. Furthermore, tumors and trauma can cause defects to the auricle. READ MORE

  5. 23. Development of Non-leaching Antibacterial Approaches on Cellulose-based Substrates and Their Mechanisms

    Author : Chao Chen; Monica Ek; Josefin Illergård; Stefan Spirk; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Layer-by-layer; antibacterial; cellulose materials; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The layer-by-layer (LbL) technique is becoming a powerful tool that has been applied in many surface coatings and functionalizations in recent years. It has many advantages including a fast and mild process, the flexibility of choice of substrate, and the easiness to scale-up. READ MORE

  6. 24. Waste Textiles Bioprocessing to Ethanol and Biogas

    Author : Azam Jeihanipour; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioethanol; biogas; biorefinery; cellulose recalcitrance; cotton-based cellulose; enzymatic hydrolysis; pretreatment; recycling; waste textile; Resursåtervinning; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : The work of the present thesis focused on conversion of the cellulosic part of waste textiles into biogas and ethanol, and its challenges. In 2009, the global annual fiber consumption exceeded 70 Mt, of which around 40% consisted of cellulosic material. READ MORE

  7. 25. Functional studies and engineering of family 1 carbohydrate-binding modules

    Author : Janne Lehtiö; KTH; []
    Keywords : Cellulose-binding; carbohydrate-binding modules; phage display; bacterial surface display; combinatorial protein library; protein engineering; Trichoderma reesei; Staphylococcus carnosus;

    Abstract : The family 1 cellulose-binding modules (CBM1) form a groupof small, stable carbohydrate-binding proteins. These modulesare essential for fungal cellulosedegradation. This thesisdescribes both functional studies of the CBM1s as well asprotein engineering of the modules for several objectives. READ MORE
