1. Null Ellipsometry and Protein Adsorption to Model Biomaterials
Sammanfattning : When implants are inserted into the human body cascades of events become started that will determine the outcome of wound healing and ultimately the success of the implantation. The events start with the adsorption of small molecules, and proteins that may be activated (enzymes) or are able to activate cells of the immune defense and the healing process. LÄS MER
2. On the structure and mechanical properties of in vitro salivary pellicles
Sammanfattning : Salivary pellicles display exceptional hydration and lubrication performance. At present, there are still gaps in the understanding of how this is achieved. LÄS MER
3. Interfacial Properties of Film Forming Proteins and their Layer-by-Layer Assembly with Nanoparticles
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis work was to investigate the interfacial properties of film forming proteins, stability of the layers created by them, and their interactions with nanoparticles. Mussel adhesive protein (Mefp-1) and hydrophobins (HFBI and HFBII) were the three main proteins used. LÄS MER
4. Adsorption of biopolymers and their layer-by-layer assemblies on hydrophilic surfaces
Sammanfattning : It is widely known that surfaces play an important role in numerous biological processes and technological applications. Thus, being able to modify surface properties provides an opportunity to control many phenomena occurring at interfaces. LÄS MER
5. On the Development of Mucin-based Biomaterial Coatings
Sammanfattning : Owing to their key role in mucosal functioning as surface barriers with biospecific interaction potentials, the mucins are interesting candidates for use as surface modifiers in biomaterials applications. In this work, “mild” fractionation procedures were used to prepare mucins of bovine (BSM), porcine (PGM), and human (MG1) origin. LÄS MER
