2. 1. Porous Polymeric Monoliths by Less Common Pathways : Preparation and Characterization

   Author : Ahmed Elhaj; Knut Irgum; Sebastiaan Eeltink; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Monolith; commodity polymer; thermally induced phase separation; dissolution-precipitation; polymer solvents; porogenic polymer; step-growth polymerization; separation science; melamine-formaldehyde;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on my endeavors to prepare new porous polymeric monoliths that are viable to use as supports in flow-through processes. Polymer monoliths of various porous properties and different chemical properties have been prepared utilizing the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) phenomenon and step-growth polymerization reactions.

   Abstract : With the invention of organic electronics, a new class of materials needed to be explored and suitable applications found. The use as semiconductors in many different devices has been explored, where photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes and field-effect transistors have been prominent. READ MORE

5. 3. Cellulose in quaternary ammonium hydroxide solutions

   Author : Shirin Naserifar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quaternary ammonium hydroxides; cellulose; N; N-dimethylmorpholinium hydroxide; Triton B; NaOH; dissolution; TMAH; etherification;

   Abstract : An ever-increasing demand to shift away from fossil-based feedstock towards renewable resources has led to more use of bio-based materials. Cellulose being the most abundant biopolymer on Earth has received a considerable attention with a wide range of applications (in textile fibers, films, membranes, etc. READ MORE

6. 4. Cellulose solutions in aqueous hydroxide bases

   Author : Beatrice Swensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose; dissolution; NaOH; aqueous; solvent; quaternary ammonium hydroxide;

   Abstract : Cellulose is a renewable and widely available carbohydrate polymer whose utility for mankind only increases as we move towards a circular bioeconomy. Unlike most plastics or metals, it cannot be melted, and therefore, solution processing is important. READ MORE

7. 5. Chemical Modification of Electrospun Cellulose Nanofibers
