1. 1. Decellularized ECM derived collagen bioinks

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi

   Author : Matilda Carlson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : 3D bioprinting allows for the manufacturing of tissue-like structures that could be used for culturing and studying cells in a microenvironment representative of the cell’s natural environment. In recent years, hydrogel bioinks from different biomaterials have been in development and utilized in tissue engineering applications. READ MORE

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Glyoxylic-Modified Lignin for Synthesis of Smart Elastomer and Composite Materials

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Author : Xinyi Wei; [2023]
   Keywords : Lignin; lignin-based elastomer; nanocomposites; Lignin; ligninbaserad elastomer; nanokompositer;

   Abstract : Sustainable development has become a global goal and the utilization of bioresources is a key way to achieve this crucial goal. Glyoxylic acid-functionalized lignin (GA-lignin) is one of the novel lignin derivatives extracted from beech wood (hardwood) and has great potential to be an industrially important bioresource.

5. 4. Deacetylated Hyaluronan : Exploration of deacetylation techniques for hyaluronan (oligo and polysaccharides)

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Sima Mardini; Hanna Björk; Marcus Möller; Carl Lagergren; Oscar Samuelsson; [2023]
   Keywords : hyaluronic acid; deacetylated hyaluronan; N-deacetylation; re-acetylation; hydrogels;

   Abstract : Hyaluronic acid is an organic polysaccharide with a wide range of uses in medical and cosmetic industries due to its physiological properties. Crosslinked hyaluronic acid is a commonly used filler agent because of its water retention capabilities. N-deacetylation can be performed to enable new derivatives of hyaluronic acid. READ MORE

6. 5. 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
