  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. Conjugated Polymers for Neural Interfaces : Prospects, possibilities and future challenges

    Author : Maria Asplund; Hans von Holst; Olle Inganäs; Thomas Stieglitz; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neuroprosthetics; conjugated polymers; conducting polymers; PEDOT; functional electrical stimulation; neural electrodes; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Functional materials; Funktionella material;

    Abstract : Within the field of neuroprosthetics the possibility to use implanted electrodes for communication with the nervous system is explored. Much effort is put into the material aspects of the electrode implant to increase charge injection capacity, suppress foreign body response and build micro sized electrode arrays allowing close contact with neurons.

  5. 3. Towards Functional Nanopores Using Polymers

    Author : Gustav Emilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; surface plasmon resonance; protein adsorption; poly ethylene glycol ; nanopores.; grafting; poly N-isopropylacrylamide ; polymer brush;

    Abstract : In nature there are several examples of nanometer sized gateways able to control the passage of molecules and other substances with remarkable precision. This has inspired research in trying to create nanoscale openings which resemble such gateways. READ MORE

    Abstract : This work focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, and application projections of low-coordinated heavy pnictogen-containing (described by the generic letter E, hence E=C) phosphaalkenes (P=C) and arsaalkenes (As=C), with emphasis on the E=C group motifs. The work aims to understand their functional and modular character, reactivity, and potential applications by stabilizing, isolating, and characterizing these species in low-coordination environments.

  7. 5. Functional Copolymers of Polyvinylpyrrolidone

    Author : Jonas Engström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; suspension polymerization; functional monomers; 1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one; copolymerization; swelling; crosslinking; solid-phase synthesis; drug delivery vehicles.; phase-selective solubility; beads; Polyvinylpyrrolidone;

    Abstract : In many ways, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) has a unique combination of chemical and physical properties. Unlike most polymers it is soluble in water as well as a number of organic solvents. PVP also has excellent film forming properties, outstanding chemical stability, complexing ability, low toxicity, and good adherence to many different substrates. READ MORE
