6. Combustion Valve Wear : A Tribological Study of Combustion Valve Sealing Interfaces
Sammanfattning : The exhaust valve system of combustion engines experiences a very complex contact situation of frequent impact involving micro sliding, high and varying temperatures, complex exhaust gas chemistry and possible particulates, etc. In addition, the tribological situation in the exhaust valve system is expected to become even worse due to strict future emission regulations, which will require enhanced combustion and cleaner fuels.

7. Magnetooptical properties of dilute nitride nanowires
Sammanfattning : Nanostructured III-V semiconductors have emerged as one of the most promising materials systems for future optoelectronic applications. While planar III-V compounds are already at the center of the ongoing lighting revolution, where older light sources are replaced by modern white light LEDs, fabricating such materials in novel architectures, such as nanowires and quantum dots, creates new possibilities for optoelectronic applications.

8. Investigation of Carbon Reinforced UHMWPE Nanocomposites for use in Orthopaedics
Sammanfattning : Over the lifetime of a person, the function of the natural hip joint can be altered due to trauma or disease and an artificial hip replacement may eventually be required. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is considered the gold standard material for the acetabular cup in hip arthroplasties. LÄS MER
9. Ionic lubricants : Molecular features and surface protection mechanisms
Sammanfattning : In this thesis ionic liquids (ILs) are investigated as prospective candidates for lubrication. Three custom synthesized phosphonium orthoborate type ILs were extensively studied from the prospective of molecular structuring both in bulk and at the interface and from the prospective of their lubricating performance as neat lubricants and as additives in oils.

10. Clinical studies on α1-acid glycoprotein glycosylation - with focus on fucose
Sammanfattning : α1-Acid glycoprotein (AGP, orosomucoid) is a heavily glycosylated protein found in blood plasma in all humans. AGP is one of the major acute phase proteins, and its concentration is frequently measured in clinical laboratories as a marker for inflammatory disease. LÄS MER
