  3. 2. Surface Functionalization of Nanowires Using Silane-PEG Compounds

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Hedvig Ekfors Elvin; [2022]
    Keywords : Functionalization; Nanowires; Silanization; Surface Chemistry; Materials Chemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Introduction: GaP nanowires were functionalized using silane-PEG-NH2 and compared with cellulose acetate, PAcrAm™-g-(PMOXA, amine, silane) and a non-functionalized reference sample. Functionalization would allow strong, covalent anchoring of antibodies instead of adsorption. READ MORE

  4. 3. Copper bioaccumulation in blue mussels and periwinkles from marinas

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Tomas Sjökvist; [2019]
    Keywords : Littorina littorea; Mytilus edulis; antifouling paint; invertebrates; biomonitoring;

    Abstract : Copper (Cu) is a heavy metal that is essential for life but toxic at high concentrations. This toxic effect is used on boats to prevent biofouling on boat hulls by painting the hulls with antifouling paint that contain high levels of Cu. The Cu is slowly diffused out in the water and accumulated by animals higher up in the food chain. READ MORE

  5. 4. Syntheses and Evaluation of Peptoids as Bioinert Coatings for Nanoparticles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Christoffer Weber; [2018]
    Keywords : Peptoid; Antifouling; Polymer coating; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Polymers of N-substituted glycine (NSG) or as they are also called, peptoids, have shown potential in biomedical applications due to proteolytic resistance, among other interesting properties. In this thesis project, two synthetic routes have been performed and evaluated to achieve a better understanding of large-scale syntheses of peptoids as a bioinert coating for nanoparticles.

  6. 5. Understanding the Optical Principles of UV-based Antifouling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Erik Wilson; [2018]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In 2014 Salters et. al. introduced the concept of an UV-emitting wallpaper. By using UVC LEDs, a completely clean ship hull surface can be achieved without polluting the marine environment with biocides, normally associated with antifouling paints. READ MORE
