  2. 1. Biochemical Control Aspects in Lignin Polymerization

    Author : Anders Holmgren; Gunnar Henriksson; Liming Zhang; Jussi Sipilä; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lignin polymerization; DHP; Ascorbic Acid; NADH; template polymerization; melanin; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Lignins are produced by all vascular plants and they represent one of the most abundant groups of biopolymers in nature. Lignin chemistry research, which has been of great importance for the progress of pulping technologies, has been plagued by the difficulties of its isolation and characterization. READ MORE

  4. 2. Composite Materials in Molecular Imprinting Technology

    Author : Ecevit Yilmaz; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immobilized template; molecularly imprinted polymer; composite material; polymerization method; heterogeneous imprinting; surface; morphology; Polymer technology; Polymerteknik; biopolymers;

    Abstract : Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial plastic materials that mimic antibodies or enzymes. Like natural antibodies or enzymes, molecularly imprinted polymers can selectively bind target molecules or can promote catalytic reactions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Polymer Nanocomposites in Thin Film Applications

    Author : Linda Fogelström; Anders Hult; José M. Kenny; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanocomposites; hyperbranched polymers; montmorillonite; clay nanoparticles; exfoliated; coatings; crosslinking; TEM; XRD; mechanical properties; thermal properties; cellulose nanofibers; Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization; Ring-Opening Polymerization; poly ε-caprolactone ; surface modification; grafting; interfacial adhesion; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : The introduction of a nanoscopic reinforcing phase to a polymer matrix offers great possibilities of obtaining improved properties, enabling applications outside the boundaries of traditional composites. The majority of the work in this thesis has been devoted to polymer/clay nanocomposites in coating applications, using the hydroxyl-functional hyperbranched polyester Boltorn® as matrix and montmorillonite clay as nanofiller.

  6. 4. Fundamental Studies on Molecularly Imprinted Materials

    Author : Kerstin Golker; Ian A. Nicholls; Ken J. Shea; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemometrics; molecular dynamics; molecularly imprinted polymer; molecular imprinting; morphology; polymer; principal component analysis;

    Abstract : The thesis focuses on fundamental studies aimed at elucidating factors that influence molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) formation and ligand recognition. To this end, a series of computational techniques, in particular chemometrics and molecular dynamics (MD) in conjunction with polymer synthesis and physical characterization studies have been employed.

  7. 5. Antibodies and Antibody Mimics in Binding Assays

    Author : Ioana Wärnmark; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymerteknik; biopolymers; ELISA; antibody; molecularly imprinted polymer; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Metabolism; metabolism; Biokemisk teknik; Polymer technology; Biochemical technology;

    Abstract : This thesis presents development of new analytical methods using antibodies and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in binding assays: 1) The high specificity of antibodies and the wide variety of efficient labels make immunoassay one of the most popular analytical techniques today. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is most widely used, since the enzyme label can be used as a catalyst to provide very high signal amplification. READ MORE
