  1. 1. Polyelectrolyte complexes : their preparation, adsorption behaviour and effect on paper properties

    Author : Caroline Ankerfors; Lars Wågberg; Monica Ek; Tom Lindström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : In this work, the formation of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) has been studied using a jet mixing method not previously used for mixing polyelectrolytes. The PECs were formed from two weak polyelectrolytes, i.e. READ MORE

  2. 2. Polyelectrolyte complexes : Preparation, characterization, and use for control of wet and dry adhesion between surfaces

    Author : Caroline Ankerfors; Lars Wågberg; Regine von Klitzing; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis examines polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) preparation, adsorption behaviour, and potential use for control of wet and dry adhesion between surfaces. PEC formation was studied using a jet-mixing method not previously used for mixing polyelectrolytes. READ MORE

  3. 3. Polyelectrolyte Complexes : Their Characterization and use for Modification of Wood Fibre Surfaces

    Author : Linda Gärdlund; Lars Wågberg; Robert Pelton; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik; Chemical engineering;

    Abstract : For economical reasons filler particles and less expensive fibre raw materials are more frequently used in papermaking. This influences the mechanical properties of the formed papers in a negative way and it is therefore necessary to add strength-enhancing agents to the papermaking furnish. READ MORE

  4. 4. Polyelectrolyte-Based Capacitors and Transistors

    Author : Oscar Larsson; Xavier Crispin; Janelle Leger; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Organic electronics; Polarization; Polyelectrolyte; Transistor; Polymer; Sensor; Capacitor; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Polymers are very attractive materials that can be tailored for specific needs and functionalities. Based on their chemical structure, they can for instance be made electrically insulating or semiconducting with specific mechanical properties. READ MORE

  5. 5. The effects of cellulosic fiber charges on polyelectrolyte adsorption and fiber-fiber interactions

    Author : A. Elisabet Horvath; Lars Wågberg; Stefan Zauscher; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; adsorption; electrolyte; polyelectrolyte; polyelectrolyte titration; stoichiometry; fluorescence; CLSM; carboxymethylation; ESCA; charge ration; colloidal interactions; mechanical forces; network strength; floc; CPM; rehometer; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : The surface charges of cellulosic fibers contribute to several papermaking operations that influence the manufacture and final properties of paper. This thesis investigates the effect of the surface charges on wet-end chemistry, e.g. READ MORE
