  1. 6. On the Structure and Dynamics of Polyelectrolyte Gel Systems and Gel-surfactant Complexes

    Författare :Per Johan Råsmark; Christer Elvingson; Johan Bergenholtz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; polyelectrolyte gel; microgel; dynamic light scattering; Raman spectroscopy; periodic boundary conditions; percolation; hypersphere; Monte Carlo; Brownian dynamics; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the results of experimental work on polyelectrolyte gels and their interaction with oppositely charged surfactants, and presents two new algorithms applicable to the simulation of colloid and polymer systems.The model systems investigated were crosslinked poly(acrylate) (PA) and poly(styrene sulphonate) (PSS), and the surfactant was dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DoTAB).

  2. 7. Interaction Between Microgels and Oppositely Charged Proteins

    Författare :Christian Johansson; Per Hansson; Brian Saunders; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microgel; protein; uptake; distribution; core-shell; colloidal stability; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis reports on interactions between microgels and oppositely charged proteins. Two types of negatively charged microgels are investigated: poly(acrylic acid) microgels of 60-80 µm in diameter, and colloidal poly(NIPAM-co-acrylic acid) microgels of around 1 µm in diameter.

  4. 9. Influence of adsorbed polyelectrolytes and adsorption conditions on creep properties of paper sheets made from unbleached kraft pulp

    Författare :Magnus Gimåker; Lars Wågberg; Anders Hult; Myat Htun; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Papper uppvisar betydande tidsberoende mekaniska egenskaper som krypning och spänningsrelaxation. Det är känt att krypningen hos pappret påverkar till exempel en wellpapplådas förmåga att bära last under lång tid. En möjlighet att tillverka papper som kryper långsammare är därför önskvärd.

  5. 10. Surface nanomechanical properties of hydrogels and coatings

    Författare :Gen Li; Per M. Claesson; Jan van Stam; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanomechanical properties; nanotribology; nanowear; poly-HEMA; poly-NIPAm; Cellulose nanocrystals; AFM; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Characterizing mechanical and wear properties at the nanometer scale emerged as a fascinating and challenging topic in the last decades due to recognition of many interesting and unusual properties of nanomaterials. Due to recent developments of the atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique, it is now possible to measure nanomechanical properties and topography simultaneously, as well as performing and evaluating wear measurements at the nanometer scale.
