1. Colloidal interactions and arrested dynamics of cellulose nanofibrils
Sammanfattning : Over the past decades, concerns for the environment have increased and efforts to achieve a sustainable society have intensified. One particular challenge is to replace fossil-based plastics with biodegradable materials produced from renewable resources. LÄS MER
2. Modification of microcapsules for controlled release
Sammanfattning : Fouling of marine organisms such as algae and barnacles on the boat hull is an enormous problem for the shipping industry. The negative consequences for the society are both economical and environmental. To prevent fouling in general, biocides are typically incorporated directly into the paint. LÄS MER
3. Exploring functionalization of colloidal silica for nanoparticle-stabilized emulsions
Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate how surface functionalized colloidal silica can be utilized in emulsions stabilized solely by particles, so called Pickering emulsions. To achieve this, water-dispersed silica nanoparticles were functionalized with hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. LÄS MER
4. Interactions between polymeric dispersants and colloidal ceramic surfaces
Sammanfattning : Increased use of environmentally acceptable chemicals and reduced energy consumption are two foreseeable demands within the ceramics industry. This will require the replacement of organic solvents and lowering of sintering temperatures. LÄS MER
5. Colloidal fumed silica and soluble silicates — Interactions and microstructure
Sammanfattning : Colloidal dispersions and gels are important material systems with applications in many industrial processes and consumer products. This thesis aims at increasing the understanding of colloidal interactions and the phase transition from a colloidal dispersion to an arrested structure in two systems based on silica. LÄS MER
