  1. 1. Development of a PNA-drug conjugate for pretargeted delivery of cytotoxic drugs

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Theranostics

    Author : Astrid Haraldsson; [2023]
    Keywords : PNA; pretargeting; cancer therapy; cytotoxic payload;

    Abstract : One of the major challenges in cancer treatment is delivering high enough doses of active substance specifically to cancer cells without accumulation in healthy organs. Pretargeting has emerged as a potential solution, where the delivery of a cancer recognizing (primary) agent and a cancer killing (secondary) agent are separated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Varnishing of Fiber-based Closures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Nisha Sunil David; [2023]
    Keywords : Varnishing; fiber-based closures; water-based spray coating; packaging; repulpability ; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This research aims to investigate water-based varnishes and technologies to coat fiber-based closures to attain water barrier properties. To ensure recyclability the repulpability of coated and uncoated lids is tested. The research approach is exploratory. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation on the natural indigo dye for cotton fabric by using supercritical carbon dioxide

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Ryoi Takamatsu; [2023]
    Keywords : Dyeing; supercritical carbon dioxide; indigo; cotton; eco-friendly; textile;

    Abstract : Concerns about the environmental impact of the textile industry are increasing, and there is an urgent need to develop and implement sustainable technologies. In particular, the environmental impact of dyeing, which emits a large amount of wastewater and chemicals, is one production process that needs to be resolved. READ MORE

  5. 4. Investigation of Milled Wood Lignin Extraction Using Enzymatic Hydrolysis for Application in Hydrophobic Barriers in the Food Packaging Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Anna Wagne; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignin; extraction; hydrophobicity; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The objective of this report is twofold: to optimise the extraction method of lignin from spruce altering a few process parameters and to investigate the use of lignin as a hydrophobic barrier in food applications. The process used was STEX (steam explosion) pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and MWL (milled wood lignin) extraction using a mixture of dioxane-water. READ MORE

  6. 5. An Investigation of How Hydrophobicity, Water, and Surface Topography Influence Macroscopic Particle Accumulation on Surfaces : A Case Study of Grass Accumulation on Robotic Lawn Mower

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Industriell produktutveckling, produktion och design

    Author : Rasmus Brask-Nilsen; Petter Ydrestrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Macroscopic Particles; Accumulation; Hydrophobicity; Humidity; Topology; Adhesion; Experiments; Design of Experiments; Grass; Robotic Lawn Mower;

    Abstract : This master's thesis project investigates the impact of hydrophobicity and topology on dry and wet macroscopic particle accumulation on surfaces. The report begins by outlining the challenges associated with this phenomenon and the existing theories and methods used to study it, including adhesion, surface engineering, the Lotus effect, and humidity.
