1. Structures of Polyelectrolyte Multilayers and Preasorbed Mucin : The Influence of Counterions
Sammanfattning : The focus in this thesis has been to gain a fundamental understanding of how different type of salts affect preadsorbed polyelectrolytes, both natural and synthetic. The knowledge from the fundamental work is then applied on a commercial system to investigate if the efficiency can be enhanced. LÄS MER
