  1. 1. Helium Filled Bubbles in Solids : Nucleation, Growth and Swelling

    Author : Odd Runevall; Nils Sandberg; Charlotte Becquart; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Helium; Radiation Damage; DFT; molybdenum; MgO;

    Abstract : When nuclear fuel, fabricated for the purpose of transmuting spent fuel is irradiated, significant amounts of He is produced from alpha particles mainly emitted when 242Cm decays into 238Pu. From irradiation experiments it is known that the presence of He in the solids alters the swelling behaviour of the material. READ MORE

  2. 2. Chemical Pathways to Electrically Conductive Hemicellulose Hydrogels

    Author : Weifeng Zhao; Ann-Chiristine Albertsson; Ulrica Edlund; Karin Odelius; Elisabet Brännvall; Peter Plikk; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrically conductive; hemicellulose; hydrogels; swelling behavior; aniline oligomers; renewable; polymer synthesis; Elektriskt ledande; hemicellulosa; hydrogel; svällning; anilinoligomerer; förnyelsebar; polymersyntes; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Hydrogels have been extensively explored and are widely used in diverse biomedical applications, such as scaffolds for tissue engineering and vehicles for drug delivery. As one type of important natural polymer-based hydrogel, hemicellulose hydrogels have interesting attributes, including being renewable, non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and abundantly available.

  3. 3. Synchrotron X-ray Scattering and Monte Carlo Simulations of Structure and Forces in Silicate Nanoplatelet Dispersions

    Author : Mo Segad; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAXS; MC simulations; Swelling; Tactoids; EXAFS; DLS; Cryo-TEM; Nanoplatelets; MX80; Na Ca montmorillonite.;

    Abstract : Clays are the world’s most widely used natural material, however, little is known regarding the microstructure as well as the forces involved in clay-water interactions, and their influence on the swelling properties. The utilization of clay platelets is nowadays a key in a number of biological and industrial applications e.g. READ MORE

  4. 4. Swelling and Mechanical Properties of Polymer Gels: Salt, Macroion and Network Topology Effects

    Author : Samuel Edgecombe; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; volume decrease upon uniaxial extension; interpenetrating networks; loose-end effects; polydispersity effects; macroion deswelling; salt deswelling; polymer gels; polyelectrolyte gels; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : The work in this thesis concerns polymer gels, especially their swelling and mechanical properties modelled using a coarse-grained model of polyelectrolytes. The method used to study polymer gels was molecular simulation utilising the simulation package MOLSIM. READ MORE

  5. 5. Modelling of Drug Release from Reservoir and Matrix Formulations - Multiple Unit Dosage Forms and Swelling and Dissolving Matrix Systems

    Author : Per Borgquist; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; swelling; XEDS; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Polymer technology; biopolymers; Polymerteknik; Pharmaceutical and related technologies; Läkemedelsteknik och relaterad teknik; simulation; single pellet; single-unit release; SEM; reservoir system; poly ethylene oxide ; film-coated; matrix; mathematical model; diffusion; pellet shape; controlled release; polymer dissolution; modelling; ethyl cellulose; Coating; multiple-unit release;

    Abstract : In this work, mathematical models have been developed describing drug release from film-coated reservoir systems as well as drug release and polymer dissolution from swelling and dissolving polymer tablets. The model derivation of both systems is based on a mechanistic approach. The model describing drug release from reservoir systems, i.e. READ MORE
