  1. 16. Stiffness and aneurysm of the aorta. Relations to vascular aging, hyperglycemia, and inflammation

    Författare :Soumia Taimour; Vaskulära sjukdomar - kliniska studier; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic stiffness; Hyperglycaemia; abdominal aortic aneurysm AAA ;

    Sammanfattning : A well-functioning arterial system for the transport of oxygen to the cells is essential for human health. The aorta has a key role for the provision of this physiological effect. Disturbances to aortic function can lead to majorsymptoms and even death due to ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

  3. 17. Lumbar disc herniation. Clinical outcome and segmental stability using a new radiological classification and radiostereometry

    Författare :Klas Halldin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :lumbar disc herniation; discectomy; radiostereometry; segmental stability; instability; surgical outcome; radiological classification;

    Sammanfattning : Satisfactory results following conventional lumbar discectomy have been reported in 70-90% of cases. Remaining or recurrent low back pain or sciatica is, however, seen in many patients for reasons not yet fully understood. A relationship has previously been shown between the morphologic characteristics, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Carbon Nanotube Polymer Composites: Mechanical, Electrical and Photorefractive Properties

    Författare :Liliana Licea Jimenez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon nanotubes; electrical properties; photorefractive properties.; polymer matrix nanocomposites; mechanical properties;

    Sammanfattning : Incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) into polymers is attractive due to the generally good processability of polymers and unprecedented properties of nanotubes. In this work, preparation and matrix known earlier but not employed so-far for nanocomposites are studied towards enhanced mechanical and electrical performances. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Nanocellulose-based materials: from colloidal assembly to functional films

    Författare :Yingxin Liu; Lennart Bergström; German Salazar-Alvarez; Orlando Rojas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Sammanfattning : The assembly of nature-based nanomaterials into complex architectures is both a design principle of biological composites, e.g., wood and nacre with outstanding properties and a promising route for developing functional macroscopic materials. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Hydrogels of Poly(vinyl alcohol) and Nanocellulose for Ophthalmic Applications : Synthesis, Characterization, Biocompatibility and Drug Delivery Studies

    Författare :Gopi Krishna Tummala; Albert Mihranyan; Natalia Ferraz; Cecilia Persson; Jonas Lindh; Che Connon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanocellulose; poly vinyl alcohol ; hydrogel; cornea regeneration; therapeutic lens; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

    Sammanfattning : Hydrogels are commonly used materials in ophthalmic care as contact lenses, bandage lenses, corneal implants, and cornea regeneration scaffolds. Hydrogels can be produced by physical, chemical, or radiation crosslinking of hydrophilic polymers. LÄS MER
