  1. 1. Porous Polymeric Monoliths by Less Common Pathways : Preparation and Characterization

    Författare :Ahmed Elhaj; Knut Irgum; Sebastiaan Eeltink; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Monolith; commodity polymer; thermally induced phase separation; dissolution-precipitation; polymer solvents; porogenic polymer; step-growth polymerization; separation science; melamine-formaldehyde;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on my endeavors to prepare new porous polymeric monoliths that are viable to use as supports in flow-through processes. Polymer monoliths of various porous properties and different chemical properties have been prepared utilizing the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) phenomenon and step-growth polymerization reactions.

    Sammanfattning : The development of biodegradable polymers from renewable resources is of importance in order to prevent the depletion of fossil fuels and the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere caused by the commodity plastics of today. However, to be able to replace these non-environmentally friendly materials, production costs of biodegradable polymers have to be decreased and their physical properties need to be enhanced.

    Sammanfattning : The completion of sequencing of human and other mammalian genomes opens a new era for drug development. New approaches have been proposed for tackling diseases such as development of small molecule therapies based on understanding of human genome and proteome, new proteinous based therapies, where the therapeutic protein can inhibit or modify a certain metabolic pathway or DNA-based therapies delivering a gene into the cell (e.

  5. 4. Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) from a moderate halophile: production and modification for new applications

    Författare :Marlene Munoz; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biopolymers; polyhydroxyalkanoates; polyhydroxybutyrate; moderate halophile; Halomonas boliviensis; fermentation; recovery; thermally induced phase separation; scaffolds; covalent modification; hydrophobic ion pairing; polyethylenemine; lysozyme.;

    Sammanfattning : Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a homopolymer belonging to the family of biopolyesters, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) produced by different bacteria and archaea as intracellular granules often under conditions of metabolic stress due to a limited supply of essential nutrients. The properties of the PHAs are similar to those of polyethylene and polypropylene and can hence replace these fossil based polymers in a large variety of applications. LÄS MER
