  1. 6. A viscoelastic evaluation of an injectable disulfide cross-linked thiol-collagen hydrogel: for tissue bulking post-myocardial infarction to prevent heart failure

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Makromolekylär kemi

    Author : Karin Dungner; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are currently the leading cause of death globally. Progression of the disease affects the composition and function of the heart and in many cases subsequently results in heart failure over time where a heart transplant is vital. Therefore, there is a need for medical treatments to stop the progression of the disease. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Murtaza Sharq; [2022]
    Keywords : Injectable and shape-retaining collagen hydrogel; crosslinked using bio-orthogonal cycloaddition chemistry; Injicerbara och formbevarande kollagenhydrogeler; tvärbundna med bio-ortagonal cykloadditionskemi;

    Abstract : Under senaste decennierna, har intresset kring implantat från naturliga och syntetiska polymerer ökat markant i samband med en ökad marknadsefterfrågan på vävnadsdonationer. Detta har lett till efterforskningen av nya in-situ formerande geler med formbevarande egenskaper in-vivo. READ MORE

  4. 8. Green Protein Hydrogels and Non-dry Aerogels in Water Purification

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Emanuel Nelsson Vedung; Alexander Singh; Julia Wadefjord; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerogel; Hydrogel; Whey Protein Isolate; Water purification; Adsorption; Sustainability;

    Abstract : Having access to clean water is not a certainty for every human being. Today, there are major problems with polluted water that not just affect us humans, but also the ecosystem around us. In recent years, research into making aerogels from protein nanofibrils (PNF) has increased. READ MORE

    Author : Tilda Eriksson; Lisa Quakkelaar; Alexander Parkstam; Alina Karlsson; Mansourah Askari; Shukri Said Ahmed; [2022]
    Keywords : Hyaluronan; Hyaluronic Acid; HA; 1; 4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether; BDDE; polynucleotides; mannitol; biomedical applications; dermatological fillers; fillers; Hyaluronan; Hyaluronsyra; HA; 1; 4-butandiol diglycidyleter; BDDE; polynukleotider; mannitol; biomedicinska applikationer; dermatologiska fyllmedel; fyllmedel;

    Abstract : Hyaluronan (HA) is a substance that is commonly used in biomedical applications in the form of hydrogels. One of these biomedical applications is dermatological fillers where HA is cross-linked with 1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) to reduce its rapid turnover within tissue. The filler gives a volumetric effect that can fill out wrinkles. READ MORE

  6. 10. Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel as a Scaffold for Cells’ Encapsulation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Susanna Wärmegård; [2022]
    Keywords : hyaluronic acid; hydrogel; 3D cell culture;

    Abstract : Hydrogels are high water-content polymers that mimic the extracellular matrix of cells. The polymers can have many sources and be of natural origin from the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cells or be synthetically derived. READ MORE
