1. Processing of raw Cassava (Manihot esculenta) - Experiments and Modelling
Abstract : The objective of the present thesis was to understand how the quality and performance of dried cassava products could be developed by drying and other processing steps. This goal was achieved in several stages. READ MORE

2. Brownian Dynamics Simulations of Macromolecules : Algorithm Development and Polymers under Confinement
Abstract : In this thesis I have used computer simulations to study the structure and dynamics of grafted polymers during confinement. These systems are of importance for understanding e.g. colloidal stability and surface coatings. READ MORE

3. Computational Studies of Graphene Growth and Carbonaceous Polyethylene Nanocomposites
Abstract : Graphene, the youngest allotrope of carbon, has attracted a lot of attention in different fields of science due to its unique electrical, mechanical, and optical properties. Controlling the growth of graphene is a very topical subject and critical for producing material with desired properties since the properties of graphene are highly dependent on its atomic structure and it is often desirable that the material contains very few or (if possible) no defects.

4. Assessing the structural and dynamical properties of concentrated solutions of the disordered proteins Histatin 5 and its tandem repeat
Abstract : Intrinsically disordered proteins are distinguished by a lack of distinct three-dimensional structure, existing instead as an ensemble of heterogenous structures. In this research, the effect of crowding on these proteins is investigated using a combined approach of experiment and computer simulation, mainly using coarse-grained simulation models to make simulation computationally feasible at the high concentration conditions crowding is displayed.

5. Size Characterisation of Water-Soluble Polymers Using Asymmetrical Flow Field-Flow Fractionation
Abstract : Size, as expressed by molar mass, radius of gyration or hydrodynamic radius, for example, is a fundamental parameter of polymers in solution. Thus, there is a strong need for the characterisation of both the size and shape of polymers, particularly of those utilised in various industrial applications. READ MORE
