  1. 1. Development of New Bacteria-Reducing Surfaces

    Författare :Josefin Illergård; Monica Ek; Lars Wågberg; Eva Blolmberg; Ute Römling; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; antibacterial; polyelectrolyte multilayers; polyvinylamine; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Sammanfattning : In recent years, antibacterial surfaces have been a subject of increased interest. Especiallyinteresting are non-leaching, contact-active surfaces that physically disrupts the bacterialcell using immobilised cationic polymers. Thus the risks of bacterial resistance and discharge of hazardous biocides is minimised. LÄS MER

  2. 2. The creation of antibacterial fibres through physical adsorption of polyelectrolytes

    Författare :Josefin Illergård; Monica Ek; Lars Wågberg; Malmsten Martin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; antibacterial; polyelectrolyte multilayers; polyvinylamine; contact-active antibacterial surfaces;

    Sammanfattning : Contact-active antibacterial surfaces with irreversibly attached antibacterial com-pounds are a sustainable alternative to traditional biocides. No chemicals are released into nature and the antibacterial mechanism reduces the risk of the evolution of re-sistant bacteria. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Development of Non-leaching Antibacterial Approaches on Cellulose-based Substrates and Their Mechanisms

    Författare :Chao Chen; Monica Ek; Josefin Illergård; Stefan Spirk; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Layer-by-layer; antibacterial; cellulose materials; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The layer-by-layer (LbL) technique is becoming a powerful tool that has been applied in many surface coatings and functionalizations in recent years. It has many advantages including a fast and mild process, the flexibility of choice of substrate, and the easiness to scale-up. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Bio-based preparation of nanocellulose and functionalization using polyelectrolytes

    Författare :Jonatan Henschen; Monica Ek; Josefin Illergård; Dongfang Li; Emily Cranston; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose nanofibrils; cellulose nanocrystals; oxalic acid; polyvinylamine; layer by layer; cellulose oxalate; antibacterial; Cellulosa nanofibriller; cellulosa nanokristaller; oxalsyra; polyvinylamin; lager på lager; cellulosa oxalat; antibakteriell; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Nanocellulosa, som kan utvinnas från skogsråvara, har de senaste åren fått mycket uppmärksamhet för sina intressanta egenskaper och breda användningsområde. Studierna i denna avhandling syftar till att vidga möjligheterna att använda nanocellulosa i olika applikationer. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Antimicrobial materials from cellulose using environmentally friendly techniques

    Författare :Anna Ottenhall; Monica Ek; Josefin Illergård; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibacterial; antifungal; cellulosic; mold; bacteria; biobased; bio-based; renewable; insulation; packaging; water treatment; water purification; paper filter; paper; membrane; Antibakteriell; fungicid; mögel; antimögel; pappersfilter; vattenrening; membran; papper; bakterier; cellulosa; förpackning; isolering; förnyelsebar; biobaserade; nya material; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : The transition to a more biobased society introduces both new opportunities and new challenges as we replace nonrenewable materials with renewable alternatives. One important challenge will be to control microbial growth on materials, both to protect the materials from biological degradation and to prevent the spread of infections and toxins that can cause illness.
