  1. 1. Microcapsules for Functionalization of Fibrous Materials: From Formulation Development to Long-term Microbial Infection Control

    Författare :Viktor Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Controlled release; Antimicrobial; Microencapsulation;

    Sammanfattning : In response to growing concerns regarding the impact of antimicrobial agents on the environment and public health, a more sustainable approach to their use in products is needed. The problem originates from rapid and uncontrolled release, leading to difficulties in maintaining long-term efficacy. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Cellulose Nanofibril-based Hybrid Materials : Eco-friendly design towards separation and packaging applications

    Författare :Luis Valencia; Aji Mathew; Olli Ikkala; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose nanofibrils; hybrid materials; membranes; aerogels; separation; food packaging; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Sammanfattning : Nanocellulose has been lately considered as the “Holy-Grail” in the design of sustainable materials due to its bio-origin and an unprecedented combination of prominent features, including good mechanical properties, anisotropy and versatile surface chemistry. In addition, nanocellulose in the form of cellulose nanofibrils, can adopt variable structures and morphologies depending on the processing technique, such as aerogels, films and monoliths. LÄS MER
