1. Model Membranes and Their Interactions with Native and Artificial Lipoproteins
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis arises from build-up of plaque in the blood, can result in cardiovascular disease and is the largest killer in the west. Low- and high-density lipoproteins are involved in the disease development by depositing and removing lipids to and from artery walls. LÄS MER
2. Perdeuteration of Biological Macromolecules: A Case Study of Human Carbonic Anhydrases
Sammanfattning : Deuterated biomolecules - where hydrogen atoms (H) are exchanged to its isotope deuterium (D) - are essential for biological experiments in neutron scattering, but they are not readily available. In neutron scattering, D has a strong positive coherent scattering length (6.67 fm) in comparison with the negative scattering length of H (-3.74 fm). LÄS MER
3. Spectroscopic studies of kaolinite surfaces
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, specific surface reactions on kaolinite have been investigated. The methods used are diffuse reflectance Fourier transform (DRIFT), FT-Raman and micro Raman spectroscopy. The deuterium exchange of the hydroxyl protons of kaolinite has been studied. LÄS MER
4. Proton Conducting Ceramics; Synthesis, Characterization and Sample Cell Environments
Sammanfattning : Acceptor doped Perovskite ceramics have been shown to exhibit high levels of protonic conduction in humid atmospheres. However significant grain boundary resistance and long sintering times required to achieve sufficient grain size growth has hindered their widespread application as electrolyzers, fuel cells and gas separation membranes.

5. Synthesis and Applications of Dynamic Multivalent Nanostructures
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the design, synthesis and development of dynamic multivalent nanostructures such as supramolecular dendrimers, liposomes and gold-functionalized nanostructures. These structures can be used for drug delivery and molecular sensing applications. LÄS MER
