  1. 6. A Study on Lignin or Zein Based Hydrophobic Coatings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Filippa Wentz; Sandra Olofsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Lignin; Zein; Hydrophobic Coating; Dispersion; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The two by-products lignin, from the paper industry, and zein, from starch production, have shown potential as hydrophobic barriers. Therefore, this study has aimed to produce and in-vestigate the hydrophobicity of lignin or zein dispersions coated on paper. READ MORE

  3. 7. Unspecific interactions in different batch variations of agarose based base matrices at different NaCl concentrations.

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Kejvan Ghofranpanah; [2022]
    Keywords : Lysozyme; hydrophobicity; size exclusion chromatography; NaCl concentrations; isocratic elution; Lysozym; hydrofobicitet; size exclusion chromatography; NaCl-koncentrationer; isokratisk eluering;

    Abstract : Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) separates molecules based on their actual size rather than their molecular weight. This indicates that the smaller a molecule is, the longer it will be held in the column since it can penetrate the pores more effectively than a bigger molecule, resulting in a longer retention time, whereas the larger molecule has a shorter retention time.

  4. 8. Immunological Cross-Reactivity : Construction of a Workflow That Enables Cross-Reactivity Predictions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alexander Blomlöf; Alvin Unge; Petter Byström; Erika Lindberg; Torbjörn Fries; [2022]
    Keywords : Cross- reactivity; Immunology; Epitope; Paratope; Antibody; Prediction; Substitution analysis; Proximity Extension Assay; Bioinformatic tools;

    Abstract : Cross-reactivity occurs when an antibody binds to the epitope of a protein that is not the targeted antigen. This is problematic in the analysis of immunoassay diagnostics. Detecting a protein incorrectly might cause issues such as incorrect mapping of metabolic conditions for research or diagnosis. READ MORE

  5. 9. Influence of Wastewater DOM Fractions on the Adsorption of Pharmaceuticals onto Activated Carbon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Koustubh Karande; [2022]
    Keywords : Wastewater treatment; Dissolved organic matter; Pharmaceuticals; Activated carbon; Hydrophobicity; Molecular weight; Water resources engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Micropollutants in our sources of freshwater is an issue which requires immediate attention. The presence of pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting agents, pesticides and other harmful compounds have proven to have impact on the aquatic as well as on human life. READ MORE

  6. 10. Effects of materials and texturing on wettability of ski base

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : ROSHAN SWAR; [2022]
    Keywords : Cross-country skiing; Stone grinding; UHMWPE;

    Abstract : Cross-country skiing has turned into the most highly competitive winter sport, with skiers having the ability to win by merely milliseconds. Every year researchers, ski - technicians, and athletes come together to prepare the ski base surface that gives the best possible results. READ MORE
