1. Resin transfer moulded composite materials : processing, structure, property relationships
Abstract : This thesis contains analysis of the performance of polymer composites manufactured by resin transfer moulding (RTM). The thesis consists of six papers, where the first two deals with the tensile strength of composites reinforced with randomly oriented glass fibres, which still is the most common reinforcement in RTM manufacturing.

2. Thermoelectric plastics: Structure-property relationships of P3HT
Abstract : The advancing development of inter-connected small devices, so-called Internet of Things is increasing the demand for independent power sources. Heat is an abundant and often wasted source of energy, thermoelectric generators could be used to harvest this waste energy. Small devices such as heart-rate monitors or gas sensors etc. READ MORE

4. Computational studies on 2D and 3D amorphous solids : Investigation of structure-property relationship
Abstract : Amorphous materials represent a large and diverse family, with many questions still remaining unanswered regarding their structure-property relationship. The structural complexity of these materials poses challenges for simulations in contrast to crystalline materials where density functional theory (DFT) can be used easily by exploiting the translation symmetry.

5. Chitosan Polyplexes as Non-Viral Gene Delivery Systems : Structure-Property Relationships and In Vivo Efficiency
Abstract : The subject of this thesis was to develop and optimize delivery systems for plasmid DNA (pDNA) based on biocompatible polymers, in particular chitosan, suitable for non-viral gene therapy. At the onset of this thesis, studies had reported conflicting results on the efficiency of chitosan-based gene delivery systems. READ MORE
