  1. 1. Polymer Gels: Modeling the Swelling Behavior

    Författare :Stefanie Schneider; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Polymerteknik; biopolymers; Polymer technology; binding isotherms; polyelectrolyte-surfactant interactions; discontinuous volume transition; gel swelling; Monte Carlo simulation; polyelectrolyte gels;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the swelling behavior of polyelectrolyte gels. The thesis can be divided into two parts. Part one deals with the modeling and computer simulation of the gel swelling. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Interaction between Crosslinked Polyelectrolyte Gels and Oppositely Charged Surfactants

    Författare :Peter Nilsson; Per Hansson; Ksenija Kogej; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Pharmaceutical chemistry; gel; polyelectrolyte; surfactant; deswelling; kinetics; phase separation; volume transition; ion-exchange; diffusion; liquid crystal; SAXS; cubic Pm3n; Farmaceutisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The interactions between anionic, crosslinked gels and cationic surfactants have been investigated. When exposed to oppositely charged surfactant, the gel collapses into a dense complex of polyion and micelles. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Swelling and Mechanical Properties of Polymer Gels: Salt, Macroion and Network Topology Effects

    Författare :Samuel Edgecombe; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; volume decrease upon uniaxial extension; interpenetrating networks; loose-end effects; polydispersity effects; macroion deswelling; salt deswelling; polymer gels; polyelectrolyte gels; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The work in this thesis concerns polymer gels, especially their swelling and mechanical properties modelled using a coarse-grained model of polyelectrolytes. The method used to study polymer gels was molecular simulation utilising the simulation package MOLSIM. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Phase Phenomena in Polymer Networks : Empirical Studies on the Influence of Hydrophobicity, Charge Density and Crosslinks on Macroion-Induced Phase Transitions in Polyelectrolyte Gels

    Författare :Martin Andersson; Per Hansson; Lennart Piculell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gel; microgel; microsphere; polystyrenesulfonate; polyacrylate; polyacrylicacid; DoTAB; DoTAC; CTAB; CTAC; network; polyelectrolyte; complex salt; self assembly; phase behaviour; hysteresis; thermodynamic; core-shell; lysozyme; cytochrome c; microscopy; micromanipulator; elastomer; elastic; protein; surfactant; phase behaviour; sorting; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis concerns polyelectrolyte gels in contact with oppositely charged proteins and surfactant micelles, and includes of four papers (I-IV). In paper I confocal Raman spectroscopy was introduced as a method to trace micelles and investigate the structure of gel-surfactant complexes, in phase separated gel spheres. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On the phase behaviour of hydrogels : A theory of macroion-induced core/shell equilibrium

    Författare :Jonas Gernandt; Per Hansson; Göran Frenning; Renko de Vries; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymer; polyelectrolyte; surfactant; thermodynamics; elasticity; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Colloidal macroions are known to interact very strongly with oppositely charged polyionic hydrogels. Sometimes this results in a non-uniform distribution of the macroions within the gel, a phenomenon that is not fully understood. LÄS MER
