1. Multifunctional carbohydrate-based soft materials from cereal by-products
Sammanfattning : Cereal production generates large quantities of by-products every year, which still remain underutilized. The hemicellulose fractions from cereal by-products are anticipated to play an important role in tomorrow's sustainable and bio-based circular economy. LÄS MER
2. Recreating the microenvironment of the neurovascular unit
Sammanfattning : The neurovascular unit (NVU) comprises the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and its surrounding astrocytes, pericytes and neurons that are embedded in the extracellular matrix (ECM). As the main function of the BBB is to protect the brain from inlet of pathogens and toxins, the specialized endothelial cells that keep the barrier tight will also hinder the passage of pharmaceuticals.

3. Engineering and Functionalization of Hemicellulose Hydrogels
Sammanfattning : Hemicellulose is the second most abundant component in wood and is an important renewable resource that is used in films, paper composites and biofuels. Hemicelluloses have several advantages, including their abundance, degradability and renewability. LÄS MER
4. The synthesis of dendritic hydrogels and inorganic nanoparticles and their application as antibacterial and imaging materials
Sammanfattning : AbstractThe overuse and misuse of conventional antibiotics has caused increased prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria, the infections of which cause high mortality and economic losses per year. It is therefore crucial to develop new technologies and treatments for infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. LÄS MER
5. Thiol-Ene CHemistry and Dopa-Functional Materials towards Biomedical Applications
Sammanfattning : Thiol-ene chemistry is versatile and efficient and can be used as a powerful tool in polymer synthesis. In this thesis, the concept of thiol-ene chemistry has been central, where it has been explored as a tool for the synthesis of well-defined hydrogels and dopa-functional materials towards biomedical applications; such as hydrogels, primers for adhesive fixation of bone fractures, self-healing gels, and micelles for drug-delivery.
