1. Bio-inspired cellulose nanocomposites and foams based on starch matrix
Sammanfattning : In 2007 the production of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in the world was over 4 million tonnes and is expected to grow at 6 percent per year. With the increased concern about environmental protection, alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources are of interest. LÄS MER
2. Bio-inspired polysaccharide nanocomposites and foams
Sammanfattning : Today, the majority of materials used for single-use packaging are petroleum-based synthetic polymers. With increased concern about the environmental protection, efforts have been made to develop alternative biodegradable materials from renewable resources. Starch offers an attractive alternative since it is of low cost and abundant. LÄS MER
3. Perfluorocarbon microdroplets stabilized by cellulose nanofibers : Toward ultrasound-mediated diagnostics and therapy
Sammanfattning : Ultrasound contrast agents consist of gas-filled micrometer-sized bubbles that are injectedinto the blood stream. Ultrasound contrast agents are an invaluable tool for ultrasound imaging of the cardiac muscle and highly vascularized structures such as kidneys and the liver. LÄS MER
4. Plant cell-inspiredmicrocontainers: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications
Sammanfattning : Biomimetic materials have been inspiring mankind since a longtime for applications in a variety of fields. In particular, the production of lipidbasedvesicles have aided in our understanding of a variety of functions in animalcells, and also served as e.g. drug delivery systems and bioreactors. LÄS MER
5. Biobased and biodegradable binders for paper and nonwoven
Sammanfattning : Nonwovens are textile-like materials with similarities close to paper. One significant sector where nonwovens are used is for single-use products such as wet wipes and hygiene products. With an increasing global population, the manufacturing and use of nonwovens have grown significantly. LÄS MER
