1. Nanolatexes: a versatile toolbox for cellulose modification
Sammanfattning : Cellulosic materials are widely used in our everyday lives, ranging from paperand packaging to biomedical applications. However, in most applications, cellulose must coexist with hydrophobic polymers which can be challenging due to its hydrophilic character. This has encouraged the exploration of chemical and physical modifications of cellulose. LÄS MER
2. Covalent Surface Modification of Degradable Polymers for Increased Biocompatibility
Sammanfattning : Degradable polymers have gained an increased attention in the field of biomedical applications over the past decades, for example in tissue engineering. One way of improving the biocompatibility of these polymers is by chemical surface modification, however the risk of degradation during the modification procedure is a limiting factor. LÄS MER
3. Surface Modification of Nanocellulose towards Composite Applications
Sammanfattning : Nanocelluloses have attracted great interest during recent decades owing to their renewability, abundancy and remarkable physical and mechanical properties. The aim of this work was to investigate new strategies for surface modification and functionalization of nanocelluloses and their subsequent incorporation in polymer-host matrices. LÄS MER
4. Nanocelluloses - surface modification and use in functional materials
Sammanfattning : Cellulose nanocomposites offer interesting potential in terms of improved properties and new functionalities compared with microcomposites. Preparation from colloidal suspensions is promising, since high reinforcement content is possible and a wide range of constituents can be used. LÄS MER
5. Effects of nitrogen deposition on the growth, metabolism and activity of ectomycorrhizal fungi
Sammanfattning : Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition is an environmental problem that can affect plants and microorganisms, which are vital for the terrestrial N and carbon (C) cycles. This thesis has investigated the response of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) to increased N deposition. LÄS MER
