  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Porous degradable polyester scaffolds

    Author : Peter Plikk; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Johan Lind; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aliphatic polyester; copolymer; porous scaffold; ring-opening polymerization; electron beam; gamma irradiation; Polymerteknologi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering is a growing research field in which degradable porous scaffolds are used to regenerate tissue from the patients own cells. The problems due to donor shortage or the lack of full property restoration from prosthetic implants can thereby be overcome. READ MORE

  5. 3. Strategies for cellulose fiber modification

    Author : Per Persson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Candida antarctica lipase B; cationic catalysis; cellulose-binding module; dendrimer; enzymatic polymerization; fiber modification; silica-cast replica; sol-gel mineralization; organocatalysis; xyloglucan endotransglycosylase;

    Abstract : This thesis describes strategies for and examples ofcellulose fiber modification.The ability of an engineered biocatalyst, acellulose-binding module fused to theCandida antarcticalipase B, to catalyze ring-openingpolymerization of e-caprolactone in close proximity tocellulose fiber surfaces was explored.
