  2. 11. Enzyme catalysis towards bio-based UV-curable buildingblocks

    Author : Maja Finnveden; Mats Martinelle; Katja Loos; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Enzyme; Enzymatic Polymerizations; Biocatalysis; Lipase; CalB; MsAcT; Substrate specificity; Selectivity; Polymer Chemistry; UV-curring; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Polymeric materials are found in virtually all areas of daily life; they are found in everything from packages keeping our food safe to the buildings where we spend our days, and the production is a worldwide industry. Although polymeric materials play a big part in sustainable solution’s, a lot can be done to develop more environmental methods for producing them. READ MORE

  4. 12. Surface characterization and manipulation of polyampholytic hydrogel coatings

    Author : Feng-I Tai; Thomas Ederth; Bo Liedberg; Lei Ye; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrogels; antifouling; charge-balanced material; polyampholytes; force measurements; polymer swelling; protein adsorption; patterning; plasmonics;

    Abstract : This thesis is dedicated to building up fundamental knowledge about polyampholytic hydrogels, which are developed in our group for anti-fouling purposes. Charge-balanced polymers, where positive and negative charges balance each other, have emerged as interesting candidates for many applications in materials science. READ MORE

  5. 13. Dried nanofibrillated cellulose and its bionanocomposites

    Author : Christian Eyholzer; Olli Ikkala; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Trä och bionanokompositer; Wood and Bionanocomposites;

    Abstract : During the past decade there has been a growing interest in the reinforcement of synthetic polymers with cellulose nanowhiskers and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) obtained from plants or bacteria. Their beneficial mechanical properties like high stiffness and strength, in combination with their low mass allowed successful reinforcement of water based polymer dispersions (latexes) for the production of solution cast composite films.

  6. 14. Liquid crystalline polymers for nonlinear optics : pyroelectric polymers and ferroelectric dendrimers

    Author : Jonas Örtegren; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with liquid crystalline materialsincluding monomers, side-chain polymers, crosslinked polymers,and dendrimers. The materials are pyroelectric, meaning thatthere is a macroscopic electric polarization in the material,which is energetically stable in the absence of externalfields. READ MORE

  7. 15. Macromolecular design : UV-curable thiol-ene networks based on renewable resources

    Author : Mauro Claudino; Mats Johansson; Michael Meier; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Plant oils and terpenes are ubiquitous natural renewable compounds. The double bonds contained in most of these monomers can be utilized via the photo-induced free-radical thiol–ene reaction to create novel bio-derived polymer thermosets representing a valuable ‘green’ alternative to petrochemical olefins and resulting synthetic plastic materials.
