1. Functional Cyclic Carbonate Monomers and Polycarbonates : Synthesis and Biomaterials Applications
Sammanfattning : The present work describes a selection of strategies for the synthesis of functional aliphatic polycarbonates. Using an end-group functionalization strategy, a series of DNA-binding cationic poly(trimethylene carbonate)s was synthesized for application as vectors for non-viral gene delivery. LÄS MER
2. Modification of stable and degradable polymers by heterogeneous grafting
Sammanfattning : This thesis summarizes the investigations of the electronbeam initiated grafting of a hydrophilic monomer, acrylamide(AAm), onto three polymers; linear low density poly(ethylene)(LLDPE), poly(&-caprolactone) (PCL) and chemicallycrosslinked poly( 1,5-dioxepan-2-one) (PDXO-X). LLDPE and PCLare semicrystalline and PDXO-X is fully amorphous. LÄS MER
3. Characterization of injection molded polymers – from conventional to wood-based thermoplastics
Sammanfattning : The success of polymers products is associated with the melt processability, which allows to create products with complex shapes at a low cost. One of the most widely used processing techniques utilizing melt processability is injection molding, where a polymer is heated until it flows into a mold under pressure. LÄS MER
4. Simulations of Semi-Crystalline Polymers and Polymer Composites in order to predict Electrical, Thermal, Mechanical and Diffusion Properties
Sammanfattning : Several novel computer simulation models were developed for predicting electrical, mechanical, thermal and diffusion properties of materials with complex microstructures, such as composites, semi-crystalline polymers and foams. A Monte Carlo model for simulating solvent diffusion through spherulitic semicrystalline polyethylene was developed. LÄS MER
5. Characterisation of Aqueous Solutions, Liquid Crystals and Solid State of Non-ionic Polymers in Association with Amphiphiles and Drugs
Sammanfattning : Cellulose ethers and polyethylene glycols are used in drug formulations as water swelling or water soluble matrices. Polar lipids, for example monoglycerides, and surfactants can be used to solubilise hydrophobic or amphiphilic drugs and to formulate potential drug delivery vehicles such as emulsions, liposomes and cubic phases.
