2. 11. Adsorption of biopolymers and their layer-by-layer assemblies on hydrophilic surfaces

   Author : Maria Lundin; Eva Blomberg; Thomas Arnebrant; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Layer-by-layer; multilayer; adsorption; biopolymers; Chitosan; Heparin; Mucin; Albumin; Lysozyme; β-casein; SDS; QCM-D; Ellipsometri; DPI; TIRF; FRET; SFA; layer structure; solvent content; vertical diffusion; exponential growth; solid-liquid interface; deposition conditions; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Abstract : It is widely known that surfaces play an important role in numerous biological processes and technological applications. Thus, being able to modify surface properties provides an opportunity to control many phenomena occurring at interfaces. READ MORE

4. 12. From Polysaccharides to Functional Materials for Trace Pharmaceutical Adsorption

   Author : Zhaoxuan Feng; Minna Hakkarainen; Rojas Orlando J; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chitosan; cellulose; nanographene oxide; carbon spheres; hydrogel; microsphere; adsorbent; pharmaceutical; microwave; spray-drying; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : The transition to bioeconomy will reduce our dependency on fossil fuels as well as contribute to a more sustainable society. Within this framework, exploitation and development of renewable substitutes to petroleum-based products provides feasible roadmap for the material design. READ MORE

5. 13. Interactions of Mucins with Biopolymers and Drug Delivery Particles

   Author : Olof Svensson; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mucin; chitosan; lactoperoxidase; multilayer; mucoadhesion; nanoparticles; ellipsometry;

   Abstract : The main components in the mucous gels apart from water are mucins, which are proteins with high molecular weights and an abundance of negatively charged oligosaccharide side chains. The aim of the investigations was to characterize interactions between mucins and other proteins that are present in the mucous gel, and also between mucins and components used in pharmaceutical formulations.

6. 14. Barrier Properties of greaseproof paper

   Author : Henrik Kjellgren; Gunnar Engström; Lennart Stolpe; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Greaseproof papers; Air permeance; Coatings; Chitosan; Oxygen Barrier properties; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik; Chemical engineering;

   Abstract : The barrier properties of greaseproof paper are achieved by extensive beating of the fibres. This treatment results in high costs for energy, both as beating energy and drying energy. A full-scale trial has been performed to investigate the role of the pulp with respect to energy demand and the barrier properties of the final papers. READ MORE

7. 15. Wood Hydrolysate for Renewable Products

   Author : Yingzhi Zhu Ryberg; Ulrica Edlund; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Ann Cornell; Louise Staffas; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wood hydrolysate; hemicellulose; oxygen permeability; PALS; film; coating; CMC; chitosan; HSP; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : Renewable biomass has been used by mankind for a long time for different purposes, from simply food to industrial products. Among a large family of polysaccharides, hemicellulose is non-edible but has shown a potential in many industrial fields such as medicine, agriculture and packaging. READ MORE
