  1. 1. Cellulose Dissolution and Amphiphilicity : Insights on the Emulsion Formation and Stabilization

    Författare :Carolina Costa; Magnus Norgren; Håkan Edlund; Orlando Rojas; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : An amphiphilic polymer is expected to adsorb at the oil-water interface and be capable of stabilizing emulsions. Cellulose derivatives, cellulose nanoparticles and regenerated cellulose particles show an intrinsic amphiphilic character by self-assembling at oil-water interfaces and stabilizing emulsions without the aid of surfactants or any other co-stabilizers.

  3. 2. Symmetry in Asymmetric Catalysis and Hydrogen Bond-Based Self-Assembly : Synthesis and Investigations

    Författare :Yutang Li; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; asymmetric catalysis; bissalen; asymmetric ring opening; pseudo-Cs; hydrogen bonding; self-assembly; C3 symmety; trilactam; scXRD; solubility; epoxidation; rearrangement; Baeyer-Villiger reaction; transition state; DFT calculation; cyclodextrin; polyethylene glycol; amphiphilicity;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis elaborates on four different projects focusing on synthesizing symmetry-related molecules and investigating their performance as catalysts for asymmetric catalysis or as monomers for hydrogen bond-based self-assembly.Chapter 2 describes a new method to desymmetrize a meso-ligand.

  4. 3. Hydrodynamic flow for deterministic sorting of cell-membrane components

    Författare :Björn Johansson Fast; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gold nanoparticles; Diffusion; Microfluidics; Native membrane vesicles; Single particle tracking; Protein enrichment; Hydrodynamic forces; Supported lipid bilayer; Size determination;

    Sammanfattning : The biological membrane, an amphiphilic structure that is the barrier between the cell interior and exterior, is one of the vital building blocks of all cells. Not only does it define the outer boundaries of the cell, it also carries important biological function by virtue of the proteins and other molecules that constitute the membrane, the function of which is in turn intimately coupled to their association with the lipid-based membrane.

  5. 4. Bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes as Scaffolds in Supramolecular Chemistry : From Host-Guest Systems to Hydrogen-Bonded Aggregates

    Författare :Anna Lidskog; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; supramolecular chemistry; host-guest system; non-covalent interactions; hydrogen bonding; aromatic interactions; electrostatic interactions; synthetic receptors; self-assembly; nanotubes;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the use of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and its heteroanalogue 1,5- diazabicyclo[3.3. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Development and Tailoring of Low‐Density Cellulose‐Based Structures for Water Treatment

    Författare :Zhaleh Atoufi Najafabadi; Lars Wågberg; Per A. Larsson; Julien Bras; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adsorption; Aerogels; Amyloid nanofibrils; Cellulose; Cellulose nanofibrils; β- lactoglobulin; water treatment; Adsorption; Aerogel; Amyloid nanofibriller; Cellulosa; Cellulosa nanofibriller; β- laktoglobulin; vattenbehandling; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : The challenges posed by our limited clean water sources and the well-known global water pollution demand more efficient water purification technologies. Additionally, the increasing environmental awareness has inspired a shift towards eco-friendly and renewable materials and technologies. LÄS MER
