  1. 1. Antibacterial elastomeric materials for biomedical applications

    Författare :Annija Stepulane; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydrogels; antibacterial coating; polydimethylsiloxane; elastomer blends; drug-delivery; antimicrobial peptides;

    Sammanfattning : An ageing population in combination with scientific and clinical advancements have led to a steady increase in the use of medical devices. Elastomeric biomaterials – materials displaying rubber-like mechanics – have found widespread applicability in the production of both short- and long-term medical devices. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Amphiphilic hydrogels functionalized with antimicrobial peptides for wound care

    Författare :Edvin Blomstrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; infections; Antimicrobial peptides; hydrogels; wound care; lyotropic liquid crystals; antibacterial surfaces; amphiphilic polymers; surface functionalization;

    Sammanfattning : Bacteria have the potential to cause significant harm to us when found in places where we do not want them, such as in wounds. Through the last century, the gold standard of eradicating bacteria in these cases has been with antibiotics. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Antibacterial materials for wound care applications utilizing antimicrobial peptides

    Författare :Edvin Blomstrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self-assembly; lyotropic liquid crystals; antibacterial surface; Antimicrobial peptides; Pluronic F-127; hydrogels;

    Sammanfattning : The spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria has shown that the development of alternative treatments of infections is of vital importance. This thesis has looked at one potential candidate, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), as an alternative or compliment to traditional antibiotics. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The synthesis of dendritic hydrogels and inorganic nanoparticles and their application as antibacterial and imaging materials

    Författare :Yanmiao Fan; Michael Malkoch; Annelie Brauner; Mauri Kostiainen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :antibacterial hydrogels; dendritic polymers; dendrimers; silicon nanoparticles; cellulose nanofibrils; drug-resistant bacteria; wound dressings; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractThe overuse and misuse of conventional antibiotics has caused increased prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria, the infections of which cause high mortality and economic losses per year. It is therefore crucial to develop new technologies and treatments for infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. LÄS MER

  7. 5. New strategies for multifunctional antibacterial materials

    Författare :Hengzhi Ruan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hydrogel; antibacterial coatings; multifunctional materials;

    Sammanfattning : Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are responsible for significant financial and human costs in healthcare systems. Therefore, a substantial amount of research has been devoted to developing biopolymer-based strategies that prevent bacterial attachment and biofilm formation on surfaces. LÄS MER
