1. 6. Environmentally Responsive Surface Coatings of Polyion-Surfactant Ion Complex Salts

   Författare :Charlotte Gustavsson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer; polyelectrolyte; surfactant; complex salt; surface coatings; phase behaviour; responsivness; hydration; SAXS; water-insoluble; solutes; liquid crystalline structures;

   Sammanfattning : Complexes formed between oppositely charged polyions and surfactant ions are known to have very rich phase behaviour in bulk solution. The work in this thesis investigates the possibilites of using such complexes as surface coatings. LÄS MER

3. 7. Phase Equilibria and Structures of Oppositely Charged Polymers and Surfactants in Water

   Författare :Anna Svensson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self diffusion; PFG NMR; hexagonal; cubic Pm3n; liquid crystals; SAXS; polymer; counterion; complex; polyelectrolyte; surfactant; Monte Carlo simulations; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : A new approach to the study of aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged polymers and surfactants has been introduced. Pure polyion-surfactant ion complex salts have been synthesized and used as the point of departure. The elimination of the simple ions reduces the number of components in the mixtures, thus greatly simplifying the system. LÄS MER

4. 8. Self Assembly at the Liquid Air Interface

   Författare :Niga Petru; Rutland Mark; Ye Shen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; VSFS; SFG; interface; crown ethers; ethylene oxides; ionic liquids; fatty acids; domains.; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this work is to study the interfacial properties of amphiphilic compounds at the liquid–air interface in an attempt to develop a comprehensive understanding of their orientation as well as the influence of their interaction with the solvent on the interfacial layer properties. Using Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy (VSFS) as the main tool, the molecular structure of the amphiphilic layer and the amphiphile–solvent relation can be illuminated in great detail – it is arguably the most sensitive surface spectroscopy currently available.

5. 9. Study of the flow-induced structure and anisotropy in lyotropic liquid crystals for hierarchical composites

   Författare :Adrian Rodriguez Palomo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self-assembly; Lyotropic liquid crystals; SAXS; Hierarchical materials.; 3D printing; Rheology; Microfluidics; Birefringence microscopy;

   Sammanfattning : Controlling the micro and nanostructure of materials is highly beneficial in order to tailor their physical properties. Extrusion-based 3D printing is a promising tool to produce hierarchical structures with controlled architecture. LÄS MER

7. 10. Lipid Self-Assembly and Lipase Action

   Författare :Johanna Borné; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; specific activity.; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; vesicles; cubosomes; liquid crystalline phases; sodium oleate; oleic acid; diolein; monoolein; Oleic acid based acyl glycerols; Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis the action of the Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase (TLL) on "real" substrates, that is, lipid aggregates - vesicles, micelles, emulsions, gels and liquid crystals is discussed. Even for a pure triolein, the system becomes quite complex as the lipolytic process starts, both in terms of structure and composition, involving 5 additional components - diolein (DO), monoolein (MO), oleic acid (OA), sodium oleate (NaO) and glycerol .
