1. 21. Exploring an alternative metabolic pathway for production of adipic acid - a study on homocitrate synthase

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

   Author : Damaride Stallone; [2019]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Adipic acid is considered as the most valuable dicarboxylic acid with industrial use; however, its production is heavily petroleum-based. This non-natural metabolite can be produced de novo through different metabolic pathways, one of which is the alpha-ketoacid elongation pathway. READ MORE

3. 22. Lipid liquid crystalline phase and starch particle mixed formulations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Cindy Phan; [2018]
   Keywords : physical chemistry; fysikalisk kemi; lipid liquid crystals; starch; cubic phase; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Lipid liquid crystals (LLC) have been studied widely because of their broad application in both food- and pharmaceutical industry. Inverse bicontinuous cubic phase of LLC have been of particular interest as it has three-dimensional structure and has been proven to be able to incorporate and deliver substances (e.g. topical drug delivery).

4. 23. Syntheses and Evaluation of Peptoids as Bioinert Coatings for Nanoparticles

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Christoffer Weber; [2018]
   Keywords : Peptoid; Antifouling; Polymer coating; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Polymers of N-substituted glycine (NSG) or as they are also called, peptoids, have shown potential in biomedical applications due to proteolytic resistance, among other interesting properties. In this thesis project, two synthetic routes have been performed and evaluated to achieve a better understanding of large-scale syntheses of peptoids as a bioinert coating for nanoparticles.

5. 24. Dissolution and fibre spinning of cellulose from an ionic liquid

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Erika Andersson; [2018]
   Keywords : Cellulose; scattering; ionic liquid; dissolution; regenerated cellulose fibre; structure-property relationship; materials chemistry; materialkemi; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Regenerated cellulose fibres can become a sustainable alternative to cotton and polyester in textile applications. One method of producing such is dissolution of cellulose in an ionic liquid (IL) and regeneration through air-gap spinning. READ MORE

6. 25. Simulations of polymer solutions displaying a lower critical solution temperature

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Sandra Larsson; [2018]
   Keywords : Monte Carlo simulations; polymer solutions; lower critical solution temperature; thermoresponsive polymers; LCST; theoretical chemistry; teoretisk kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Thermoresponsive polymers with a lower critical solution temperature, LCST, have attracted interest in the development of new ``smart materials'', which change properties in response to external stimuli. Polymers with an LCST near physiological temperatures are especially relevant in biomedical applications, most notably perhaps in drug delivery systems. READ MORE
