1. Chitosan biopolymer as an adsorbent for drinking water treatment : Investigation on Arsenic and Uranium
Abstract : In many countries over the world (including Sweden), metal toxicity in freshwater resources causes a severe drinking water quality problem and poses a threat to the environment and human health. Among the different toxic metals in the water resources of Sweden, arsenic and uranium are the biggest threats to health. READ MORE

2. Improving properties of poly(lactic acid) biopolymer for use in food packaging
Abstract : The petroleum-based plastics are widely used for food packaging applications because of their low cost, easy processability, and tunable properties to meet the specific needs of food packaging. However, these polymers are non-biodegradable, leading to a substantial amount of plastic waste in both land and marine ecosystems. READ MORE

3. Flow processing and gel formation for producing biopolymer drops with functional shapes and diffusion properties
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development of novel processes which combine flow-induced drop deformation and simultaneous temperature-induced gel formation in order to create shaped biopolymer drops. The drops are functional in terms of rheology and diffusion properties, factors strongly influencing the consistency of food products and flavour or drug release. READ MORE

5. Rheological Behaviour of Biopolymer Gels in Relation to Structure
Abstract : The rheological behaviour of biopolymer gels with different network structures was studied to elucidate how the structure of the gel influences its rheological properties. Non-destructive viscoelastic measurements and fracture techniques were used. READ MORE
