36. Microcontact Printing for Protein Microarray Applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis introduces the microcontact printing (μCP) method to pattern and tailor the desired substrates for protein microarray applications. The ink molecules used to create the patterns, hydrophobic barriers, are tetraalkyl ammonium salt, polycationic polymers and oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated self-assembled monolayers. LÄS MER
37. Molecular Interactions in Thin Films of Biopolymers, Colloids and Synthetic Polyelectrolytes
Sammanfattning : The development of the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique has turned out to be an efficient way to physically modify the surface properties of different materials, for example to improve the adhesive interactions between fibers in paper. The main objective of the work described in this thesis was to obtain fundamental data concerning the adhesive properties of wood biopolymers and LbL films, including the mechanical properties of the thin films, in order to shed light on the molecular mechanisms responsible for the adhesion between these materials.

38. Microfluidic Devices for Manipulation and Detection of Beads and Biomolecules
Sammanfattning : This thesis summarises work towards a Lab-on-Chip (LOC). The request for faster and more efficient chemical and biological analysis is the motivation behind the development of the LOC-concept. Microfluidic devices tend to become increasingly complex in order to include, e.g. LÄS MER
39. Precise cell manipulations and imaging of cellular responses : Methods developed using microfluidic, 3D-printing and microfabrication technologies
Sammanfattning : It is at the heart of biological and medical research to try and understand how cells communicate with each other, and how cells respond to alterations in their environment, including treatment with different drugs. There is in this context a continued need for better methods that allow researchers to precisely manipulate cells and their microenvironment and to study the resulting responses using high-resolution live microscopy.

40. Solid-phase Microextraction and Detection of Organophosphate Triesters in Indoor air
Sammanfattning : In the work underlying this thesis solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was evaluated as a passive sampling technique for organophosphate triesters in indoor air. These compounds are used on a large scale as flame-retarding and plastizicing additives in a variety of materials and products, and have proven to be common pollutants in indoor air. LÄS MER
