  1. 1. Biocatalysis in Pickering emulsions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Christine Vera Isabel Schmidt; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzymes; Pickering emulsion; Amine Transaminases; Green Chemistry; Stereoselectivity; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Employing enzymes as catalysts in the production of chiral amines that are both used as building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients might be promising due to milder reaction conditions compared to non-biological catalysts, exclusion of heavy metals, high selectivity towards substrates and precision in chirality of the products. Transaminases are attractive for the use in this process. READ MORE

  3. 2. Emulsifying properties of cellulose oxalate and pectin from Norway spruce bark

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

    Keywords : Cellulose oxalate COX ; Bark; Norway spruce; Pectin; Pickering emulsion; Pulp;

    Abstract : Nanocellulose is a sustainable material and has shown interesting properties in various applications. One such application is Pickering emulsion, where the nanocellulose stabilizes the oil and water interface. READ MORE

  4. 3. Formulation of nanoemulsions stabilized by cellulose nanocrystals

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

    Author : Marco Maccagno; [2020]
    Keywords : nanocellulose; hydroxypropyl methilcellulose; Pickering emulsions; microfluidization; drug delivery; nanocellulosa; hydroxipropylmetylcellulosa; Pickering emulsioner; microfluidization; drogleverans;

    Abstract : Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are bio-based nanoparticles with the ability to stabilize oil and water emulsions thanks to their intermediate wettability and nanometric size. These and other types of particle-stabilized emulsions, commonly referred to as Pickering emulsions, are of great academic and industrial interest due to their superior stability against drop coalescence compared to classical surfactant-stabilized emulsions.

  5. 4. Development of an Expancel Product through Optimisation of Polymer Composition and the Suspension Stabilising System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Frida Berggren; [2014]
    Keywords : microspheres; suspension polymerisation; Pickering emulsions; flocculation;

    Abstract : Thermally expandable microspheres are spherical particles around 5-­‐40 µm in size, consisting of a polymeric shell in which a blowing agent has been encapsulated. The microspheres are expanded upon heating, resulting in a particularly low density. Microspheres are therefore suitable to use as light weight filler or as foaming agent. READ MORE
