21. Xylan biosynthesis and modification : characterisation of a glycosyltransferase and a glycoside hydrolase in hybrid aspen
Sammanfattning : Wood is an important renewable material used by humans for a variety of downstream applications. The basic subcellular structure in wood is the cell wall, mainly consisting of the cross-linked polymers cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. LÄS MER
22. Organic Electronics and Microphysiological Systems to Interface, Monitor, and Model Biology
Sammanfattning : Biological processes in the human body are regulated through complex and precise arrangements of cell structures and their interactions. In vivo models serve as the most accurate choice for biological studies to understand these processes. However, they are costly, time-consuming, and raise ethical issues. LÄS MER
23. Molecularly Imprinted Polymers at the Nanometric Scale: Synthetic Receptors for Chemical Sensors
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, polymerisation techniques or deposition methods have been developed permitting the creation of thin molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) films or patterns and their interfacing with transducer surfaces for biosensor applications. The creation of ultra thin films has been achieved using two different techniques, spin-coating and in-situ polymerization of thin films of monomers containing a sacrificial polymeric porogen, and autoassembly of MIP nanoparticles with the aid of an associative linear polymer.

24. Towards novel applications for biomolecular interactions at surfaces
Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis has been to examine two new concepts involving the interaction of biological agents with synthetic material surfaces.The feasibility of deploying phage display techniques for the screening of materials in non-biological media was examined in two studies.

25. Advanced Functional Thin Films and Networks towards Biological Applications
Sammanfattning : Functional polymeric scaffolds have been employed in biological applications as several utilities, from nano-sized drug delivery systems to concrete implants. The progression in biological fields essentially relies on finding an appropriate material to fulfil the critical requirements for various types of applications with great potential for tuning functionality and mechanical properties.
