2. 1. Biomimetic Membranes: : Molecular Structure and Stability Studies by Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy

   Author : Jonathan F.D. Liljeblad; Mark W. Rutland; Magnus C. Johnson; Tore Brinck; Lars Kloo; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy VSFS ; Langmuir monolayer; LB depositon; phospholipids; oxidation; biomimetic membranes; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Abstract : In the research presented in this licentiate thesis the surface specific technique Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy, VSFS, combined with the Langmuir trough has been utilized to investigate Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposited mono- and bilayers of phospholipids. Their molecular structure, stability, and hydration were probed to gain additional understanding of important properties aiming at facilitating the use of such layers as model systems for biological membranes.

5. 3. Development and Evaluation of Lipodisks Intended for Use as Biomimetic Membranes and Drug Carriers

   Author : Malin Morin Zetterberg; Katarina Edwards; Jonas Bergquist; Ana Maria Carmona-Ribeiro; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; model membranes; drug delivery; drug partitioning; antimicrobial peptides; nanocarriers; cryo-TEM; polymer-stabilized bilayer disks; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : Polyethylene glycol-stabilized lipodisks have emerged as a novel type of lipid-based nanoparticles with high potential as both drug carriers and biomimetic membranes. In this thesis we assess both of these applications, and show how the properties of the lipodisks can be further developed and optimized. READ MORE

6. 4. Nanotube Vesicle Networks: Immobilization and Transport Studies

   Author : Johan Hurtig; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; network; electrophoresis; nanotechnology; liposome; biomimetic; confocal microscopy; Vesicle; microfabrication; nanotube;

   Abstract : Surfactant lipids are an essential element of living cells. They are the basis for the biomembranes that envelope and divide cells into compartments. In addition to this static function, lipid membranes also play a role in dynamic processes such as transport and signaling. READ MORE
