  1. 16. Establishing a resource-efficient one-step process for dyeing and hydrophobic finishing of wool with a hydraulic spray atomising system.

    University essay from

    Author : Roos Mulder; [2021]
    Keywords : Wool; continuous dyeing; reactive dyeing; acid dyeing; hydrophobic finishing; hyperbranched polymers; dendrimers; hydraulic spray atomising;

    Abstract : The textile industry is a big environmental polluter, with one of the biggest concerns being water pollution and usage. This necessitates resource efficient methods for wet textile processes. READ MORE

  3. 17. Easy-to-clean properties in coatings for automotive applications

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Weyni Ghebreamlak; [2021]
    Keywords : Easy-to-clean surface; sol-gel; superhydrophobicity; superoleophobicity; nanoparticles; Lätt-att-rengöra yta ”Easy-to-clean” ; sol-gel; superhydrofobicitet; superoleofobicitet; nanopartiklar;

    Abstract : En ”lätt-att-rengöra” yta definieras som en yta som stöter bort vatten och smuts. I detta projekt har klarlack med olika sammansättningar studerats i syfte att introducera egenskapen ”lätt-att-rengöra”. För att uppnå denna egenskap måste beläggningen vara superhydrofob och oleofob. READ MORE

  4. 18. Functional properties of legumes important for food applications : a study of pea, fava bean, and soy protein

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Nathalie Möller; [2021]
    Keywords : fava bean protein; functional properties; meat analogues; pea protein; rich-in-protein materials; soy protein;

    Abstract : The market demand for foods with plant-based protein sources such as meat analogues has increased due to for example consumer awareness of environmental, ethical, and health issues. Meat analogues based on soy have dominated the market due to soybean’s protein quality and eminent functional properties. READ MORE

  5. 19. Class switching mechanism in antibodies : A conformational and structural investigation of the B-cell repertoire diversity of the CDR3

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Sofia Fredin; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A process called class switching recombination (CSR) regulates the production of isotypes by enabling the switch of producing unspecific IgM or IgD to producing IgG, IgE, or IgA by causing an irreversible genomic rearrangement. Recent studies indicate a gap in the identification of the molecular mechanisms underlying CSR. READ MORE

  6. 20. Surface functionalization of nonwoven polypropylene with BTCA polycarboxylic acid in supercritical carbon dioxide medium

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

    Author : Md Fahad Khan; [2021]
    Keywords : Nonwoven polypropylene; Supercritical carbon dioxide; Surface functionalization; 1; 2; 3; 4- Butanetetracarboxylic acid; Impregnation; Environmentfriendly; Hydrophilicity;

    Abstract : Nonwoven polypropylene has been utilized broadly in various hygienic and medical textile applications because of its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and minimal expense contrast with other synthetic polymers. However, the insufficiency of surface tethering groups, including adhesion, wettability, and hydrophilicity, some applications are not convenient on nonwoven polypropylene surfaces such as dyeing, printing, attachment of antibacterial and bioactive agents.
