  1. 11. Charged Polymers: From DNA to Polyampholytes

    Författare :Malek O Khan; Beräkningskemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computational steering; DNA condensation; ion correlations; electrostatic interactions; colloidal stability; polyampholytes; Monte Carlo simulations; polyelectrolytes; Theoretical chemistry; quantum chemistry; Teoretisk kemi; kvantkemi;

    Sammanfattning : Three main themes are outlined in this thesis: Polyelectrolytes/DNA : In a living cell, DNA molecules have a compact conformation in order to fit in, while in a test tube they will take on an expanded cylindrical shape, due to the negative phosphate groups along the DNA molecule. With the help of computer simulations it has been shown that like-charged monomers of a poly- electrolyte can attract each other if the counterions are taken into account. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Enzyme-Based Amperometric Biosensors in Flow-Systems for Biomolecule Detection

    Författare :Niklas Larsson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microdialysis; Liquid chromatography; Flow injection; Polyelectrolytes; Carbohydrate; Mediator; Dehydrogenase; Peroxidase; Oxidase; Enzyme; Amperometric detection; Carbon paste; Biosensor; Graphite electrode; On-line monitoring; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Amperometric enzyme based biosensors were designed, developed and characterised in flow systems. Solid graphite and carbon paste electrodes were used as support for enzyme immobilisation. Both mediated and direct electron transfers between redox enzymes and electrodes were utilised for biosensor construction, as well as coupled enzyme systems. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Association and Microstructure in Self-Assembling Catanionic Systems

    Författare :Eduardo Marques; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFG NMR self-diffusion; cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy; catanionic systems; gels; bile salts; polyelectrolytes; liquid crystals; vesicles; Surfactants; phase diagrams; light microscopy; Theoretical chemistry; quantum chemistry; Teoretisk kemi; kvantkemi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the phase behavior and phase structure in mixed surfactant-surfactant and surfactant-polymer systems, where the co-solutes have opposite charges (catanionic systems). The initial goal has been to investigate self-assembly aspects in mixtures of single-/double-chained surfactants and bile salt/double-chained surfactants, with the main focus on vesicle assembly in dilute regions.

  5. 14. Design of Cellulose-based Materials by Supramolecular Assemblies

    Författare :Tobias Benselfelt; Lars Wågberg; Torbjörn Pettersson; Joseph Schlenoff; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adhesion; adsorption; alginate; assemblies; biodegradable; biomaterials; biopolymers; cellulose; cellulose nanofibrils; CNFs; gas barrier; hemicellulose; interfaces; ion-ion correlation; latex; layer-by-layer; metal-ligand complexes; montmorillonite; multivalent ions; packaging; PISA; polyelectrolyte multilayers; polyelectrolytes; polysaccharides; RAFT; renewable; specific ion effects; supramolecular; surfaces; sustainable; thin films; water-resilient; xyloglucan; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Due to climate change and plastic pollution, there is an increasing demand for bio-based materials with similar properties to those of common plastics yet biodegradable. In this respect, cellulose is a strong candidate that is already being refined on a large industrial scale, but the properties differ significantly from those of common plastics in terms of shapeability and water-resilience.

  7. 15. Tailored layer-by-layer films of nanofibrillated cellulose

    Författare :Erdem Karabulut; Lars Wågberg; Lennart Piculell; Eva Blomberg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :layer-by-layer assembly; nanofibrillated cellulose; thin film; surface adsorption; polyelectrolytes;

    Sammanfattning : The preparation of multifunctional films, coatings and membranes from natural, sustainable and low-cost raw materials has attracted considerable interest during the last decade. In this respect, cellulose-based products possess a great promise for research and industry due both to the availability of large amounts of material in nature and to the preparation of new classes of nano-sized and well-characterized building-blocks of cellulose from trees or annual plants.
