  1. 11. Betulin-modified cellulosic textile fibers with improved water repellency, hydrophobicity and antibacterial properties

    Author : Tianxiao Huang; Monica Ek; Mats Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibacterial; Betulin; Biorefinery; Cellulose; Grafting; Coating; Hydrophobicity; Textile; Water repellency; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Textiles made from natural sources, such as cotton and flax, have advantages over those made of synthetic fibers in terms of sustainability. Unlike major synthetic fibers that have a negative impact on the environment due to poor biodegradability, cotton cellulose is a renewable material. READ MORE

  2. 12. The impression technique for assessment of tissue oedema : instrumentation, evaluation and applications

    Author : Olof Lindahl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medical Engineering for Healthcare;

    Abstract : An instrument for clinical noninvasive assessment of tissue oedema based on an impression method was developed. The method measures and evaluates the decaying force, due to translocation of tissue fluid, during mechanical compression of any site of tissue. We applied the impression method on physical models, animal models, and patients. READ MORE

  3. 13. Overcoming Limitations of Iontronic Delivery Devices

    Author : Maria Seitanidou; Magnus Berggren; Daniel T Simon; Christopher Bettinger; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Organic electronic devices are considered as one of the best candidates to replace conventional inorganic electronic devices due to their electronic conductive functionality, low-cost production techniques, the ability to tune their optical and electronic properties using organic chemistry, and their mechanical flexibility. Moreover, these systems are ideal for bioelectronic applications due to their softness, biocompatibility, and most importantly, their electronic and ionic transport. READ MORE

  4. 14. Monopolar and Bipolar Membranes in Organic Bioelectronic Devices

    Author : Erik O. Gabrielsson; Magnus Berggren; Edwin Jager; Daniel Simon; Ari Ivaska; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioelectronics; ionic; ion transport; bipolar membrane; conjugated polymer; amyloid; self-assembly;

    Abstract : In the 1970s it was discovered that organic polymers, a class of materials otherwise best know as insulating plastics, could be made electronically conductive. As an alternative to silicon semiconductors, organic polymers offer many novel features, characteristics, and opportunities, such as producing electronics at low costs using printing techniques, using organic chemistry to tune optical and electronic properties, and mechanical flexibility.

  5. 15. Operating Organic Electronics via Aqueous Electric Double Layers

    Author : Henrik Toss; Magnus Berggren; Edwin Jager; Daniel Simon; Annalisa Bonfiglio; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The field of organic electronics emerged in the 1970s with the discovery of conducting polymers. With the introduction of plastics as conductors and semiconductors came many new possibilities both in production and function of electronic devices. READ MORE
