1. From Macromolecular Design to Supramolecular Self-assembly
Sammanfattning : Advancements in drug delivery have enabled a wider array of prevention, control and treatment of diseases such as cancer. Drug delivery systems have the possibility of encapsulating drugs with low solubility, delivering them to specific locations in the body as well as obtaining a controlled and sustained drug release.

2. Amphiphilic Polymers as Additives in Biomedical Polyurethanes. Surface Properties and Morphology
Sammanfattning : The aim of this work was to achieve surface modification of two biomedical polyurethanes and one poly(urethane urea) through the addition of small amounts of amphiphilic copolymers in solution. The matrix polymers used were the poly(ether urethane)s Pellethane 2363-80AE (P80) and 2363-75D (P75) and a poly(ether urethane urea) similar to Biomer (PUUR). LÄS MER
3. 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.

4. Exploring Amphiphilic PEGMA-Based Architectures as Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery
Sammanfattning : Within the last decades, the stated potential of polymer constructs as drug delivery systems have challenged researchers to develop sophisticated polymers with tunable properties. The versatility of polymers makes them highly attractive to tailor nanoparticles (NPs) which fulfill the demands of effective drug delivery systems (DDS). LÄS MER
5. Surface Modification of Cellulose-based Materials for Tailoring of Interfacial Interactions
Sammanfattning : The awareness of our need for a sustainable society has encouraged the search for renewable, high quality materials that can replace oil-based products. This, in combination with increased competition in the forest industry, has stimulated a lot of research into different types of wood-based materials where cellulose-rich fibers are combined with different types of polymers.
