  2. 11. Structural design and properties of hydrogel biomaterials

    Author : Mikael Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polyacrylic acid; Mechanical properties; Microfibrillated cellulose; Drug release; Chitosan; Biomaterials; Swelling; Hydrogels;

    Abstract : Today a range of materials are used in medical applications; such materials are collectively denoted as biomaterials. A special class of biomaterials currently given much scientific interest is hydrogels. In particular a contemporary research topic is to create multicomponent materials in which synergetic effects are achieved. READ MORE

  4. 12. Antibacterial materials for wound care applications utilizing antimicrobial peptides

    Author : Edvin Blomstrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self-assembly; lyotropic liquid crystals; antibacterial surface; Antimicrobial peptides; Pluronic F-127; hydrogels;

    Abstract : The spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria has shown that the development of alternative treatments of infections is of vital importance. This thesis has looked at one potential candidate, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), as an alternative or compliment to traditional antibiotics. READ MORE
