  1. 1. Exploring alternative surfactants to replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Elina Edidovica; [2024]
    Keywords : Lipid nanoparticle; polyethelyne glycol PEG ; alpha-tomatine; N-hexadecyl beta d-maltoside HDM ; DOPC; DPPC; cholesterol; film hydration; stability study; DLS; Cryo-TEM; SAXS; pharmaceutical formulation; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Over the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. READ MORE

  3. 2. Nanoparticle synthesis analysis : Program for data visualization and cluster analysis of nanoparticle synthesis protocols

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Emil Juviken Hultman; Jacob Signeul; Lucas Lindborg; Eskil Silfur; [2023]
    Keywords : Dataanalysverktyg;

    Abstract : As energy demands rise across the globe, new clean energy solutions must be developed. Peafowl Plasmonics is developing a direct solar harvesting device using plasmonic technology. To expand their business and increase manufacturing scalability, nanoparticle synthesis protocols must be made. READ MORE

  4. 3. Testing aerosol vertical profiling methods with portable instruments on unmanned and manned aircraft

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ellen Grace Soroka; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Aerosols; Vertical Profile; Black Carbon; PM2.5; Nanoparticles; UAV; Drone; Master degree thesis; 30 credits in Atmospheric Science Biogeochemical Cycles; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis employed several portable sensors on board an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and manned aircraft in order to test new methods of measuring vertical profiles of aerosol particles and contribute to knowledge of aerosol distributions in the atmosphere. More data in this area is required to improve atmospheric modelling and future climate scenarios. READ MORE

  5. 4. Impact of nanoparticle plasmons on photoluminescense and upconversion processes in ZnO

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik; Uppsala universitet/Fysikalisk kemi

    Author : Axel Gudmundsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Photoluminescence; Upconversion; Plasmons; ZnO;

    Abstract : The increasing prevalence of glass windows in modern buildings has raised the demand for solar control windows that possess climate-appropriate properties. Glass windows made of abundant and low-cost materials which can both decrease the heating energy consumption as well as enhance the light climate indoors would sufficiently meet the goals of economical yet uplifting buildings.

  6. 5. Electromagnetic Heating of Coated Ellipsoidal Gold Nanoparticles in Biological Tissue at Radio Frequencies

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Olle Hennert; Robert Themptander; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Radiofrequency heating of gold nanoparticles for use in remote hyperthermia cancer treatment has seenrapidly growing interest in the last decade. While most of the focus has been on studying sphericalnanoparticles, a recent report suggests ellipsoidal particles can significantly increase heat absorption. READ MORE
