    Sammanfattning : The focus of the thesis is on chemically cross-linked hydrogels which drastically change their volume when immersed in solutions of different ionic surfactants (with or without added salt). The two main questions addressed are: (1) How useful are simple gel swelling experiments to the study of polymer-surfactant interactions?, and (2) How does the volume of a cross-linked polymer gel change when it is immersed in a surfactant solution, both with respect to the equilibrium swelling and with respect to transient volume changes? Most of the gels studied were prepared by cross-linking linear polymers, which were well studied derivatives of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Tuning Properties of Surfaces and Nanoscopic Objects using Dendronization and Controlled Polymerizations

    Författare :Emma Östmark; Eva Malmström; Heikki Tenhu; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dendrimers; dendronized polymers; cellulose; Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization; Ring-Opening Polymerization; surface modification; grafting; superhydrophobic; amphiphilic polymer; block copolymer; Atomic Force Microscopy; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Sammanfattning : In this study, dendronization and grafting via controlled polymerization techniques, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and ring-opening polymerization (ROP), have been explored. Modification of surfaces and cellulose using these techniques, which enable grafting of well-defined polymer architectures, has been investigated. LÄS MER
