  1. 1. Colloidal self-assembly of anisotropic gold nanoparticles

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

    Author : Samuel Emilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Self-assembly; Gold nanoparticle; Anisotropic; Nanobipyramid; Surface plasmon resonance; Självsammansättningar; Guldnanopartiklar; Anisotrop; Nanobipyramider; Ytplasmonresonans;

    Abstract : The colloidal self-assembly of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is of interest to utilize the plasmonic coupling effects that arise between nanoparticles. The enhanced properties of anisotropic AuNPs make them particularly attractive in self-assemblies. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development of magnetic lignin nanoparticles from low-molecular-weight eucalyptus and spruce lignin fractions

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

    Author : Anna Wessén; Eliot Diklev; Lejla Al-Tamimi; [2020]
    Keywords : Magnetic nanoparticles; Hardwood; Softwood; Self-assembly; Lignin;

    Abstract : Lignin is one of the most common biopolymers in the world. Together with cellulose andhemicellulose it constitutes the fibers in the wood. It has a high molecular weight due to its complexstructure consisting of crossed-linked phenolic monomers and is concatenated with different types ofcarbon and ether bonds. READ MORE

  4. 3. The influence of molecular structure of phospholipids on the transition from micelles to bilayers in bile salt surfactant/phospholipid mixtures

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för läkemedelskemi

    Author : Zeyneb Alkademi; [2020]
    Keywords : phospholipids; micelles; bilayers; bile salt; surfactant;

    Abstract : Phospholipid molecules self-assemble to form bilayers that are poorly soluble in an aqueous solvent. Phospholipids may, however, be readily dissolved by mixing with a bile salt or amphiphilic drug surfactant that forms mixed surfactant/phospholipid micelles. READ MORE

  5. 4. Design of Multi-function Polymeric Nanoparticles for Theranostic Application

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

    Author : Zuhoor Yamani; [2019]
    Keywords : theranostic; polymeric nanparticles; drug delivery; camptothecin; nile red; encapsulation during particle formation;

    Abstract : Block copolymer nanoparticles (NPs) have gained great attention among researcher for various medical application mainly due to their extraordinary optical, chemical, and biological properties. The current thesis presents design of multifunctional polymeric NPs for imaging and drug delivery system (DDS) with an in-vitro study of their participation in drug release and cell viability.

  6. 5. Self-Assembly and Electrical Conductivity of Colloids

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

    Author : Pier Silvio Tibaldi; [2015]
    Keywords : colloids; self-assembly; electrical conductivity;

    Abstract : Self-assembly is an astonishing phenomenon at the base of organized structures’ formation from disordered systems. It occurs in nature from atomic and molecular lengths to galactic distances. Nowadays self-assembly of colloidal solutions can be used to fabricate photonic crystals and metamaterials. READ MORE
