  1. 6. Porous degradable polyester scaffolds

    Författare :Peter Plikk; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Johan Lind; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aliphatic polyester; copolymer; porous scaffold; ring-opening polymerization; electron beam; gamma irradiation; Polymerteknologi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Tissue engineering is a growing research field in which degradable porous scaffolds are used to regenerate tissue from the patients own cells. The problems due to donor shortage or the lack of full property restoration from prosthetic implants can thereby be overcome. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Synergistic interactions involving amphiphilic polymers in solution

    Författare :Maria Karlberg; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrophobic modification; cyclodextrin; rheology; emulsion stability; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; cellulose derivative; degradable surfactants; amylose;

    Sammanfattning : The properties of hydrophobically modified cellulose derivatives in aqueous mixtures with various other molecules have been investigated. Mixtures of a hydrophobically modified polymer and alkali-sensitive, degradable surfactants gave rise to time-dependent viscosities. LÄS MER

  4. 8. degradable electroactive polymers: Synthesis, Macromolecular architecture and scaffold design

    Författare :Baolin Guo; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Patric Jannasch; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Poly lactide ; poly ε-caprolactone ; ring-opening polymerization; carboxyl-capped aniline trimer; carboxyl-capped aniline pentamer; phenyl amino-capped aniline tetramer; coupling reaction; DCC DMAP system; degradability; electroactivity; conductivity; macromolecular architecture; chitosan; hydrogel; block copolymer; functionalization; oxidative coupling reaction; self-assembly; toxicity; tubular porous scaffold; neural tissue engineering.;

    Sammanfattning : Electrically conducting polymers induce specific cellular responses at the molecular level. One of the crucial limitations of the use of conducting polymers in tissue engineering is their inability to degrade. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Modification of stable and degradable polymers by heterogeneous grafting

    Författare :Mattias Ohrlander; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis summarizes the investigations of the electronbeam initiated grafting of a hydrophilic monomer, acrylamide(AAm), onto three polymers; linear low density poly(ethylene)(LLDPE), poly(&-caprolactone) (PCL) and chemicallycrosslinked poly( 1,5-dioxepan-2-one) (PDXO-X). LLDPE and PCLare semicrystalline and PDXO-X is fully amorphous. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Synthesis of Biomedical Polymers and Scaffold Design

    Författare :Therese Tyson; Ann-Christine Albertsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ring-opening polymerization; tin alkoxide initiator; stannous octoate; poly p-dioxanone ; copolymer; L-lactide; trimethylene carbonate; degradable porous scaffold; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Sammanfattning : This work has focused on the development of new improved synthesis methods of biodegradable aliphatic polymers and on the preparation of porous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. The aim of the first part of the work was the synthesis of poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDX) homopolymers with high molecular weights using the cyclic tin alkoxide initiator 1-di-n-butyl-1-stanna-2,5-dioxacyclopentane.
