2. 6. Interaction Between Antimicrobial Peptides and Phospholipid Membranes : Effects of Peptide Length and Composition

   Author : Lovisa Ringstad; Martin Malmsten; Per Hansson; Jeremy Ramsden; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adsorption; antibacterial; antimicrobial peptide; bilayer; ellipsometry; electrochemistry; electrostatic interactions; hydrophobicity; liposome; membrane; monolayer; phospholipid; secondary structure; supported bilayer.; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmaceutical Physical Chemistry; farmaceutisk fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : Due to increasing problems with bacterial resistance development, there is a growing need for identifying new types of antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides constitute an interesting group of substances for this purpose, since they are believed to act mainly by disrupting the bacterial membrane, which is a fast and non-specific mechanism.

4. 7. Biobased and biodegradable binders for paper and nonwoven

   Author : Maria Wennman; Mikael S. Hedenqvist; Anna Justina Svagan; Mårten Hellberg; Wim Thielemans; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polyelectrolyte complex; binder; chitosan; carboxymethyl cellulose; citric acid; nonwoven; tensile strength; hydrophobicity; Polyelektrolytkomplex; bindemedel; kitosan; karboximetylcellulosa; citronsyra; nonwoven; dragstyrka; hydrofobicitet; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Nonwovens are textile-like materials with similarities close to paper. One significant sector where nonwovens are used is for single-use products such as wet wipes and hygiene products. With an increasing global population, the manufacturing and use of nonwovens have grown significantly. READ MORE

5. 8. Adsorption at the Solid-Liquid Interface: An Atomic Force Microscopy Study

   Author : Lachlan M Grant; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; hydrophobicity.; self-assembly; aggregate geometry; atomic force microscopy; nonionic; adsorption; surfactant; Fysikalisk kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

   Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate nature of adsorption of amphiphiles to the solid–liquid interface. The surface aggregate structures of the zwitterionic surfactant dodecyldimethylammoniopropanesulfonate, (DDAPS) and a series of nonionic polyoxyethlylene glycol alkyl ethers (C10E5, C12E5, C12E8, C10E6, C14E6 and C16E6) have been determined by Atomic Force Microscopy on solids of different hydrophobicity.

6. 9. Wetting and Capillary Flow of Surfactant Solutions and Inks

   Author : Maria von Bahr; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; AKD; ink-jet printing; paper; penetration; absorption; adsorption; hydrophobicity; nonionic; surfactant; spreading; dynamic wetting;

   Abstract : This thesis presents results of a series of experimental studies on the spreading dynamics of small drops of complex solutions on solid surfaces. The capillary flow dynamics of complex solutions have also been investigated. READ MORE

7. 10. Towards a retro-structural design of degradable aliphatic polyester-based materials

   Author : Veluska Arias; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Minna Kellomäki; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrolysis; polyesters; polylactide; hydrophobicity; crystallinity; miscibility; nanoparticles; stereocomplex; homocomposites; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The increasing amount of accumulated plastic waste has led to a continuous search for degradable materials for use in a variety of applications. This eco-friendly approach contemplates the use of degradable alternatives to the inert polymers (the main components in plastics) used today and further engineering of their degradation pathways.
