1. Exploring medical applications of a bioactive polymer
Abstract : In this thesis, we have studied a polymeric compound called PVAC, designed as a scavenger of reactive electrophilic substances. We explored several diseases where these substances are overproduced.In Paper I, adhesion formation was induced via bowel anastomosis surgery in rats. READ MORE

2. Covalent Vapor-Phase Grafting of Degradable Polymers
Abstract : Gasfasympning är en del i den moderna strategin för optimering av den molekylära designen av biomaterial. Kovalent ytmodifiering med hydrofila vinylmonomerer och koppling med bioaktiva grupper används för att öka biokompatibiliteten och bioaktiviteten hos biomaterialen.. READ MORE

3. Functional Degradable Polymers by a Radical Chemistry approach
Abstract : One class of polymers that is inherently of great value for many applications is the aliphatic polyesters. Such polymers are very suitable for use as temporary guides, scaffolds, for tissue formation and other biomedical applications, due to their biocompatibility, degradability and appropriate mechanical properties.

5. Evaluation of Functionalized Biopolymers as a Step Toward Targeted Therapy of Osteoporosis
Abstract : The work presented in this thesis focuses on the development of strategies and smart bioactive materials for the treatment of osteoporosis. High and low molecular weight soluble hyaluronic acid-bisphosphonate (HA-BP) derivatives were investigated for their ability to inhibit osteoclasts. READ MORE
