  1. 1. Do Nanoparticles Affect Neuronal Function? - Establishment of a Microelectrode-Based Assay

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Markus Nylander; [2020]
    Keywords : Microelectrode array; gold nanoparticles; silver nanoparticles; immunocytochemistry; scanning electron microscopy; human neural progenitor cells; human induced pluripotent stem cells; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nanomaterials are used extensively in industry and daily life but comparatively little is known about the possible health effects. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are two metal nanoparticles that have been intensively studied. READ MORE

  3. 2. The impact of the pulping process on the properties of lignin nanoparticles

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

    Author : Kristoffer Guthenberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Lignin; Nano; Nanoparticles; Extraction; Kraft; Organosolv; Softwood; Properties;

    Abstract : Lignin valorization is a key component of the total utilization of biomass in the biorefinery industry. Lignin has seen some use in several different applications, but a breakthrough is still yet to happen, and there is still a need to find more areas where lignin can be used as an alternative feedstock or as the main component.

  4. 3. Possible unexpected peaks from oil drop size measurements in milk

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Laura Schalkwijk; Rodrigo Olmedo Sotomayor; [2020]
    Keywords : laser diffraction; oil droplet size; milk; pasteurised milk; unexpected peaks; mastersizer; food engineering; livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The shelf life of milk is amongst others dependent on the size of the oil droplets. These droplets can be measured using the laser diffraction (LD) technique. LD is a popular technique to measure particle size distributions (PSD) that has an outstanding broad measuring range capability, is easy-to-use and has a high reproducibility. READ MORE

  5. 4. Nanoparticles’ effect in an in vitro whole blood model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi

    Author : Layal Korkis; [2019]
    Keywords : Silica; Titanium dioxide; Palladium; complement system; contact system.;

    Abstract : Nanoparticles have been used in industry and in medicine due to their properties which give them beneficial uses. This usage of the nanoparticles has risen the question about how harmful they are to the human body, the connection between the exposure to nanoparticles, and many diseases that occur in the body.

  6. 5. Fate and Transport of Nano-TiO2 in Saturated Porous Media: Effect of pH, Ionic Strength and Flow Rate

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Tsegay Mengestab; [2015]
    Keywords : Nanoparticles; TiO2; saturated porous media; transport; DLVO theory;

    Abstract : Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are widely used in a variety of products, such as pigments, paints, paper, plastics, cosmetics, nano-fibers, food coloring and photovoltaic cells, and the industry is growing at anexponential rate. It is believed that by 2025, 2.5 million tons of nano-TiO2 will be manufactured annually. READ MORE
