2. 1. Complex Macromolecular Architectures by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

   Author : Anna Carlmark; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polymer chemistry; controlled radical polymerization;

   Abstract : Controlled radical polymerization has proven to be a viableroute to obtain polymers with narrow polydispersities (PDI's)and controlled molecular weights under simple reactionconditions. It also offers control over the chain-]ends of thesynthesized polymer. READ MORE

4. 2. Expression in Live Coding: Gestural Interaction for Machine Musicianship

   Author : Georgios Diapoulis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; music perception; live programming; liveness; music interaction; live coding; music information retrieval; gestural control; musical interfaces; expressive interaction; music performance;

   Abstract : This thesis is centered on the performance practice of musical live coding, which can be described as on-the-fly decision-making for computer music performance and blurs the lines between programming languages and computer interfaces. I specifically focus on live coding as a human activity based on serial skilled actions, and I discuss how we can interact gesturally with interfaces that are modified dynamically. READ MORE

5. 3. Functional Degradable Polymers by a Radical Chemistry approach

   Author : Jenny Undin; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Anna Finne-Wistrand; Jukka Seppälä; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : One class of polymers that is inherently of great value for many applications is the aliphatic polyesters. Such polymers are very suitable for use as temporary guides, scaffolds, for tissue formation and other biomedical applications, due to their biocompatibility, degradability and appropriate mechanical properties.

6. 4. Synthesis of AcGGM Polysaccharide Hydrogels

   Author : Laleh Maleki; Ulrica Edlund; Anette Larsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hemicellulose; O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan; wood hydrolysate; hydrogel; radical polymerization; interpenetrating polymer network; click chemistry; thiol-ene; Michael addition; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass is believed to serve a prominent role in tomorrow’s sustainable energy and material development. Among the polysaccharide fractions of lignocellulosic biomass, the potential of hemicelluloses as a valuable material resource is increasingly recognized. READ MORE

7. 5. Exploring bio-based and biodegradable polymers: free-radical polymerization, hydrolysis and applications

   Author : Maryam Mousa; Eva Malmström; Magnus Jonsson; Anna Larsson Kron; Seema Agarwal; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bio-based polymers; biodegradation; branched polyesters; thermally expandable microspheres; copolymerization; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Increasing concerns regarding the depletion of fossil-based resources and theaccumulation of plastic waste in the environment have resulted in extensiveresearch aimed at finding more sustainable alternatives to today’s plastics.In this work, bio-based and biodegradable polymers have been synthesizedusing free-radical polymerization in homogeneous and heterogeneoussystems.
