  1. 1. Skin hydration - How water and osmolytes influence biophysical properties of stratum corneum

    Författare :Sebastian Björklund; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stratum corneum; diffusive transport; permeability; flow-through cell; Franz cell; transdermal drug delivery; water activity; vapor pressure; osmotic gradient; relative humidity; ceramide; free fatty acid; cholesterol; keratin filaments; natural moisturizing factor NMF ; urea; glycerol; molecular mobility; 13C natural-abundance solid-state NMR; polarization transfer; isothermal calorimetry; impedance spectroscopy; X-ray diffraction;

    Sammanfattning : The outermost layer of skin (i.e., the stratum corneum, SC) is the interface that separates the water-rich inside of the body from the relatively dry external environment. SC forms an effective permeability barrier, which has to be overcome in transdermal drug delivery. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hemicellulose as barrier material

    Författare :Hartman Jonas; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Gunnar Henriksson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hemicellulose; galactoglucomannan; plasma surface treatment; vaporphase grafting; benzylation; contact angle; oxygen permeability; solution casting; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Polysaccharides constitute an important source of raw materials for the packaging industry today. Polysaccharides have good natural barrier properties which are necessary for packaging films. Cellulose is the forerunner among renewable polymers for such applications. Hemicelluloses represent a new interesting breed of barrier materials. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Modified Starches in aqueous and plastisol coating

    Författare :Agneta Jansson; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Starch; Polyvinyl alcohol; Water vapor barrier; Tensile properties; Rheology; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The interest for coatings containing renewable materials has enlarged in the last decade. Materials from the nature are investigated like starch, cellulose derivatives, protein (gelatin), chitosane by many. In this study potato starch has been used. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Xyloglucan-based polymers and nanocomposites – modification, properties and barrier film applications

    Författare :Joby Kochumalayil Jose; Lars Berglund; José M. Kenny; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; xyloglucan; packaging; oxygen barrier; nanocomposites;

    Sammanfattning : Biopolymers from renewable resources are of interest for packaging applications as an alternative to conventional petroleum-based polymers. One of the major application areas for biopolymers is food packaging, where a candidate polymer should meet critical requirements such as mechanical and oxygen barrier performance, also in humid conditions.

  7. 5. Edible and Biodegradable Whey Protein Films as Barriers in Foods and Food Packaging

    Författare :Martin Anker; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; water vapor permeability; critical gel concentration; BETA-lactoglobulin; whey protein; mechanical properties; moisture content; microstructure; glass transition temperature; oxygen permeability;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the characterization of whey protein films. The films were cast from heated aqueous solutions and dried in a climate room at 23 °C and 50% relative humidity for 16 h. The microstructure of the films was found to be dependent on the protein concentration, the plasticizers, and the pH. LÄS MER
