  2. 1. Functional Degradable Polymers : from the monomeric point of view

    Author : Peter Olsén; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Karin Docent; Andrew Dove; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Degradable polymers is key, within the future vison, of creating a sustainable society were all aspects, cradle to grave, can be realized in a sustainable way. It is imperative to consider, how the monomer is formed, its polymerization, the material properties created and the final degradation behavior. READ MORE

  4. 2. Environmentally Degradable Polyethylene : Effects of Additives and Environment on the Degradation and Degradation products

    Author : Farideh Khabbaz; KTH; []
    Keywords : LDPE; polyethylene; oxidative degradation; photo-oxidation; thermo-oxidation; degradation products; photosensitisers; pro-oxidant; starch; master-batch; gas chromatography mass-spectrometry; GC-MS; solid phase microextraction; SPME;

    Abstract : This thesis summarises and compares the influences ofdifferent additives (photosensitisers, pro-oxidants, abiodegradable filler) on blown low-density polyethylene (LDPE)films during photo- and thermal degradation with respect tochemical changes in the polymer matrices and identifieddegradation products. Additives studied were irondimethyldithiocarbamate (FeDMC), nickel dibutyldithocarbamate(NiDBC), carbon black, starch, a pro-oxidant that consisted ofmanganese stearate together with styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)or natural rubber (NR) and a master batch containing linearLDPE, starch and pro-oxidant.

  5. 3. Porous degradable polyester scaffolds

    Author : Peter Plikk; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Johan Lind; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aliphatic polyester; copolymer; porous scaffold; ring-opening polymerization; electron beam; gamma irradiation; Polymerteknologi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering is a growing research field in which degradable porous scaffolds are used to regenerate tissue from the patients own cells. The problems due to donor shortage or the lack of full property restoration from prosthetic implants can thereby be overcome. READ MORE

    Abstract : Degradable polymers have gained an increased attention in the field of biomedical applications over the past decades, for example in tissue engineering. One way of improving the biocompatibility of these polymers is by chemical surface modification, however the risk of degradation during the modification procedure is a limiting factor. READ MORE
