21. Development of materials, surfaces and manufacturing methods for microfluidic applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents technological advancements in microfluidics. The overall goals of the work are to develop new miniaturized tests for point-of-care diagnostics and robust super-lubricating surfaces for friction reduction. To achieve these goals, novel materials, surfaces and manufacturing methods in microfluidics have been developed. LÄS MER
22. On the inception of leakage : Effect of hydrostatic pressure on the sealing interface
Sammanfattning : As the move towards sustainability continues, attention needs to be paid to the development of new machinery with high performance and low environmental impact. It places increasing demands on low/zero-emission sealing with a long lifetime. LÄS MER
23. Adsorption, desorption, and redox reactions at iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces
Sammanfattning : Iron oxide nanoparticles are involved in several important biogeochemical processes. The interfaces between aqueous solutions and iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces are found everywhere in nature, and the chemical and microbial processes occurring at these complex interfaces control e.g. nutrient and contaminant availability and transport.

24. Adsorption and Self-Assembly of Cationic Surfactants at Silica Surfaces
Sammanfattning : The equilibrium self-assembly of cationic surfactants in bulk solution and at negatively-charged silica substrates is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The surfactants used are quaternary ammonium salts, both monovalent (DoTAB, TTAB, CTAB) and divalent (DoPPDAC). LÄS MER
25. Nitrogen, parasites and plants : key interactions in boreal forest ecosystems
Sammanfattning : In the work described in this thesis I studied how increases in nitrogen (N) inputs may affect plant community structure in boreal forest understorey vegetation. These phenomena were investigated in N fertilization experiments and along a national N deposition gradient. LÄS MER
