  2. 21. Colloidal interactions and arrested dynamics of cellulose nanofibrils

    Author : Malin Nordenström; Lars Wågberg; Torbjörn Pettersson; Lars Göran Ödberg; Andreas Fall; Wim Thielemans; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose nanofibrils; colloidal interactions; colloidal stability; arrested state; colloidal glass; colloidal gel; tracer diffusion; counterion; steric stabilization; redispersion; redispersion agent; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Over the past decades, concerns for the environment have increased and efforts to achieve a sustainable society have intensified. One particular challenge is to replace fossil-based plastics with biodegradable materials produced from renewable resources. READ MORE

  4. 22. Exploring the nonlinear rheological behavior and optical properties of cellulose nanocrystal suspensions

    Author : Sylwia Wojno; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rheology; self-assembly.; rheo-PLI; nonlinear oscillatory shear; FTRheology; Cellulose nanocrystals;

    Abstract : Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), with their versatile properties, offer immense potential in a range of applications, whether used independently or as sustainable reinforcements in polymers. They also find utility as renewable rheology modifiers in industries such as cosmetics, paints, and foods, where precise control over rheological characteristics is crucial for factors like product stability, prevention of splattering, and efficient processing and transportation.

  5. 23. Electrostatically Driven Structure Formation in Clay Dispersions

    Author : Maria Jansson; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lera; Montmorillonit; Laponite®; Taktoid; Anisotropi; Överladdning; Interkalering; Grov korninga modeller; MD simuleringar; MC simuleringar; SAXS; Svälltryck; zeta-potential; Clay; Montmorillonite; Laponite®; Nanoplatelets; Tactoid; Anisotropy; Overcharging; Intercalation; Coarse-grained modeling; MD simulations; MC simulations; SAXS; Swelling pressure; zeta-potential;

    Abstract : Clay minerals consist of clay platelets, which are anisotropic in both size and charge, and these can form a lamellar structure depending on the size, making it a seemingly perfect model system for an electrical double layer. The situation is however, from a structural point, slightly less ideal. READ MORE

  6. 24. Concentrated DNA-amphiphiles Structure, Hydration, and Dynamics

    Author : Cecilia Leal; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amphiphiles; DNA; Physical chemistry; diffusion NMR; solid-state NMR; electrostatics; dynamics; local order; Fysikalisk kemi; hydration;

    Abstract : The structure, hydration, and dynamics of concentrated DNA-amphiphile complexes were investigated by small-angle X-ray diffraction, sorption calorimetry, and nuclear magnetic resonance. A concentrated, electroneutral, DNA-amphiphile complex can be formed by mixing charge-stoichiometric solutions. READ MORE

  7. 25. Vitamin B6 as a potential antioxidant : a study emanating from UV-B-stressed plants

    Author : Mikael Ristilä; Åke Strid; Leif Eriksson; Éva Hideg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis; UV-B irradiation; pyridoxine; vitamin B6; ROS; Chemistry; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Increased influx of solar UV-B radiation (280-320 nm), due to a decreasing stratospheric ozone layer, impacts severely on plants. Some of the UV-B effects on plants are related to stress induced by produced reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) has been reported to be a potential quencher of ROS. READ MORE
