  1. 1. Cu(I) stabilizing polymers for marine anti-fouling applications

    Författare :Alireza Movahedi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coordinating polymers; copper; anti-fouling coatings; CuAAC; triazole; epoxide.; polymer functionalization; click chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The growth of marine organisms on immersed surfaces in seawater is known as biofouling and causes several problems for marine transportation. The need to combat fouling is thus of great importance. Copper has to be used in extreme amounts to act as an efficient biocide. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Corrosion-induced release of zinc and copper in marine environments

    Författare :Jan Sandberg; Inger Odnevall Wallinder; Dan Persason; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; copper; zinc; marine environment; runoff rate; atmospheric corrosion; chloride deposition; anti-fouling paints; chemical speciation; bioavailability; cupric ions; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This licentiate study was initiated by copper, zinc and galvanized steel producers in Europe, who felt a need to assess runoff rates of copper and zinc from the pure metals and commercial products at marine exposure conditions. Their motive was the increasing concern in various European countries and the on-going risk assessments of copper and zinc within the European commission. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Surface characterization and manipulation of polyampholytic hydrogel coatings

    Författare :Feng-I Tai; Thomas Ederth; Bo Liedberg; Lei Ye; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrogels; antifouling; charge-balanced material; polyampholytes; force measurements; polymer swelling; protein adsorption; patterning; plasmonics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is dedicated to building up fundamental knowledge about polyampholytic hydrogels, which are developed in our group for anti-fouling purposes. Charge-balanced polymers, where positive and negative charges balance each other, have emerged as interesting candidates for many applications in materials science. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Neutron Reflectometry Studies of the Hydrated Structure of Polymer Thin Films

    Författare :Bela Nagy; Thomas Ederth; Tommy Nylander; Fabrice Cousin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Polymer coatings are inexpensive surface modifications providing a wide variety of functions. There is an ever-present motivation to improve the films’ performance and to decrease the cost and the environmental footprint of their production. LÄS MER
