11. Microscopic Dynamics and Structure of some Polymer-based Electrolytes
Sammanfattning : The electrolyte is a key component in high-capacity lithium batteries and there is a large demand for improved materials to increase the performance. Polymer-based electrolytes offer advantages in the design of safer and lighter batteries. LÄS MER
12. Ex‘PLA’ining the progression of pathological proteins in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases : see(d)ing is believing
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the two most common forms of neurodegenerative disorders affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. The underlying neuropathological processes leading to AD and PD share many similarities, i.e. aberrant protein aggregation of tau and alpha-synuclein (αSyn) in the brain. LÄS MER
13. Linear and Branched Chitosan Oligomers as Delivery Systems for pDNA and siRNA In Vitro and In Vivo
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, chitosan, a biocompatible polysaccharide that has been approved as a food additive was selected as a platform for the development of safe, efficient non-viral gene delivery systems to mammalian cells. Previously, chitosan-based gene formulations had been generally associated with high molecular weight chitosans, which were poorly characterised in terms of molecular weight distribution and degree of acetylation.

14. Probing the Effects of Conformation on the Photophysics of Conjugated Porphyrin Oligomers
Sammanfattning : Controlling the conformational heterogeneity of molecular systems is fundamental to envisage future applications of these systems, such as in solar cells or molecular devices to name a few. The work presented in this Thesis investigates the effects of conformational flexibility on the photophysical properties of a series of conjugated porphyrin oligomers Pn (n = 1-4, 6, 8). LÄS MER
15. Structure and dynamics of amyloid-beta oligomers
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, affects tens of millions of people all over the world and inflicts huge socioeconomic costs on the societies. AD is a neurodegenerative disease; it progresses over time and is highly debilitating at the advanced stages. LÄS MER
