2. 1. Surface Force and Friction : effects of adsorbed layers and surface topography

   Author : Xiaoyan Liu; Per Claesson; Bjorn Torger Stokke; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; Friction; nanotribology; surface forces; diblock copolymer; lipid; QCM-D; AFM; optical reflectometry; neutron reflectivity; X-ray reflectivity; micro-patterned surface; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Interfacial features of polymers are a complex, fascinating topic, and industrially very important. There is clearly a need to understand interactions between polymer layers as they can be used for controlling surface properties, colloidal stability and lubrication. The aim of my Ph. READ MORE

4. 2. Structure-Property Relationships of Surfactants at Interfaces and Polyelectrolyte-Surfactant Aggregates

   Author : Mikael Kjellin; KTH; []
   Keywords : nonionic surfactant; sugar surfactant; poly ethylene oxide ; amide; ester; polyelectrolyte; SDS; hydrophobic surface; glass surface; mica; adsorption; aggregation; micelle size; surface forces; wetting; dynamic surface tension; NMR; TRFQ; SANS; SAXS; ;

   Abstract : The first part of this thesis is concerned with thestructure-property relationships in nonionic surfactantsystems. The main aim was to investigate how the surfactantstructure influences the adsorption at interfaces andinteractions between surfactant coated interfaces. READ MORE

5. 3. Surface chemical behaviour

   Author : Marie Wickman; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The objective of the investigations included in this thesisis to show how the properties of alkyd resins, used as bindersin offset printing inks, affect the ink in terms of pigmentdispersion, emulsification of fountain solution, and inksetting.The interactions between alkyd resins and aqueous solutionshave been investigated by interfacial tension measurementsusing the pendant drop technique and by measurement of dropletsize using light diffraction.

6. 4. Rehearsing Emotions : The Process of Creating a Role for the Stage

   Author : Stina Bergman Blix; Göran Ahrne; Patrik Aspers; Helena Flam; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; role theory; stage actors; theatre; emotion work; emotional labour; shame; deep acting; surface acting; Sociology; Sociologi; Sociology; sociologi;

   Abstract : This thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories. These theories often presume what stage acting is about in order to use it as a simile for every day acting. READ MORE

7. 5. Discovery and evaluation of direct acting antivirals against hepatitis C virus

   Author : Eldar Abdurakhmanov; Helena Danielson; David Frick; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Direct acting antivirals; Hepatitis C; NS3-4A protease; NS5B polymerase; structure-based drug discovery; fragment-based drug discovery; surface plasmon resonance; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : Until recently, the standard therapy for hepatitis C treatment has been interferon and ribavirin. Such treatment has only 50% efficacy and is not well tolerated. The emergence of new drugs has increased the treatment efficacy to 90%. READ MORE
