  1. 21. New Strategies for Preparing Polymers with Hierarchical Architectures

    Författare :Natacha Ndizeye; Ian A. Nicholls; Alessandra Maria Bossi; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Liquid crystalline media; molecularly imprinted polymers; non-ionic deep eutectic solvents; quartz crystal microbalance; Organic Chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis was to explore novel approaches for controlling morphologies and molecular recognition behaviour of polymers and to use these strategies in conjunction with the molecular imprinting technique in order to either enhance polymer performance in quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor applications, or as an alternative to conventional solvents of polymerization. In Papers I and II, the use of liquid crystalline media in the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers was demonstrated. LÄS MER

  2. 22. Dynamic and Static Diffractive Optics - some Examples

    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; subwavelength grating; spatial light modulator; phase retrieval; diffractive optics; ferroelectric liquid crystal; analog-to-digital conversion; optical switch; feedback generated hologram;

    Sammanfattning : Diffractive optics is a modern branch of optics, that exploits microstructures to manipulate the propagation of light. Fast computers and the progress in manufacturing technique of microelectronics have made possible a rapid development of diffractive optics during the past 10 years. LÄS MER

  3. 23. Mass Spectrometry with Electrospray Ionization from an Adjustable Gap

    Författare :Patrik Ek; Åsa Emmer; Johan Roeraade; Per M. Claesson; Ulrika Nilsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrospray ionization; mass spectrometry; nanoelectrospray; ESI; MS; chip; emitter; gap; liquid bridge; nozzle; peptides; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis the fabrication and analytical evaluation of two new electrospray emitters utilized for mass spectrometry analysis is presented. The emitters are based on a new concept, where the spray orifice can be varied in size. The thesis is based on two papers. All present-day nanoelectrospray emitters have fixed dimensions. LÄS MER

  4. 24. Dispersing Carbon Nanotubes: Towards Molecular Understanding

    Författare :Ricardo M. Ferreira Fernandes; Istvan Furo; Eduardo Marques; Philippe Poulin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbon nanotubes; dispersion; surfactants; polymers; adsorption; liquid crystals; nuclear magnetic resonance; self-diffusion; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit unique and fascinating intrinsic electrical, optical, thermal or mechanical properties that lead to a plethora of potential applications in composite materials, electronics, energy storage, medicine, among others. However, the manipulation of nanotubes is not trivial and there are significant difficulties to overcome before achieving their full potential in applications. LÄS MER
