1. 1. Understanding the effects of TCP-25 and EDTA interaction : A study of the biophysical aspects of a naturally derived peptide formulation with EDTA for topical application

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

   Author : Ebba Kant; [2023]
   Keywords : chronic wounds; EDTA; biophysical aspects; formulation; pharmaceutical technology; Thrombin derived C-terminal peptide; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improving wound healing.

3. 2. Tuning Photovoltaic Properties of Two-dimensional Molybdenum Disulfide by Alloying: An ab initio study

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Mochen Li; [2023]
   Keywords : Photovoltaic; Molybdenum disulfide; Absorption coefficient; ab initio material design; Fotovoltaisk; Molybdendisulfid; Absorptionskoefficient; ab initio materialdesign;

   Abstract : Addressing the urgent need for innovative energy solutions amidst increasing environmental concerns, the focus on photovoltaic solar cells is intensifying. Currently limited by the Shockley-Queisser limit, conventional silicon-based solar cells offer a maximum power conversion efficiency of 32%. READ MORE

4. 3. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
   Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.

5. 4. Production and analysis of novel disulfide variants of Subtilisin Carlsberg

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kemi

   Author : Anton Elfstrand; [2023]
   Keywords : Subtilisin Carlsberg; Disulfide; Protein Engineering; Kinetic Stability;

   Abstract : Protein engineering has been used to alter the stability of proteins for several decades withmuch success, one approach being to introduce two cysteine residues that together form adisulfide bridge. The disulfide bridge can increase the Gibbs free energy of the transitionstate, thus increasing energy difference between the folded state and the unfolding transitionstate, leading to increased kinetic stability of the protein.

6. 5. Phonons in 1-D Graphene Nanoribbons Probed with Raman Spectroscopy : Unraveling Fundamental Properties in 9-atom-wide Graphene Nanoribbons

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

   Author : Angel Victor Labordet Alvarez; [2023]
   Keywords : 9-armchair graphene nanoribbons 9-AGNRs ; polarization Raman Spectroscopy PRS ; temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy; thermal sensitivity; thermal stability; Grüneisen parameter χ ; anharmonicities; vibrational modes G; D; RBLM .; 9-armchair grafen nanoribbons 9-AGNRs ; polarisation Raman spektroskopi PRS ; temperaturberoende Raman spektroskopi; termisk känslighet; termisk stabilitet; Grüneisen parameter χ ; anharmoniciteter; vibrationslägen G; D; RBLM .;

   Abstract : This report employs advanced Raman spectroscopy techniques to investigate the fundamental properties of 9-AGNRs comprehensively. It is divided into two main sections addressing distinct aspects of 9-AGNR behavior. In the first section, Polarization Raman spectroscopy (PRS) probes phonon mode symmetries in 9-AGNRs. READ MORE
