  1. 1. Modeling transport phenomena with COMSOL Multiphysics - Adsorptive membrane fouling in lignocellulosic biorefineries and lessons learned from it

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Linnéa Petersson; [2020]
    Keywords : QCM-D; Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring; Hemicellulose; GGM; Galactoglucomannans; Adsorption; Membrane fouling; COMSOL; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The separation of hemicelluloses, like glactoglucomannans, from lignocellulosic process streams is an important step in building profitable lignocellulosic biorefineries. The most common method for the separation is membrane filtration, however, it has the draw-back of being sensitive to membrane fouling. READ MORE

  3. 2. Biophysical differences between COPD, CF and healthy airways mucus.

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Vladislav Genevskiy; [2020]
    Keywords : CF; COPD; mucus; structure;

    Abstract : An improved understanding of the mucus biophysical alteration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is a milestone towards a more accurate and effective treatment of these common and highly debilitating conditions. Little is known about the variations in mucus structure between ill and healthy individuals. READ MORE

  4. 3. Interaction of PEG-ylated Lipid Nanoparticles with Silica Substrates

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Xinchen Zhang; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this project, the interaction between polyethylene glycol modified (PEG-ylated) lipid nanoparticles and silica substrates was studied to find out how this interaction was affected by bulk concentration, temperature and the composition of particles. One kind of lipodisk and four kinds of PEG-ylated liposome were prepared from lipid films and characterized by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) instrument mounted with silica sensor.

  5. 4. Gas Adsorption Using Conjugated Polymers : Studied by Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM)

    University essay from Tema vatten i natur och samhälle

    Author : Yaser Rezania; [2010]
    Keywords : Congugated polymer; gas adsorption; carbon dioxide; methane; QCM;

    Abstract : Since late 70’s when conductive polymers were discovered, a new field of science has opened to the research world. Especially during last 30 years, many applications of using these polymers have been revealed in areas such as electrochemical transistors and OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes). READ MORE

  6. 5. A novel biotinylated surface designed for QCM-D applications

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Erik Nilebäck; [2009]
    Keywords : Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring; QCM-D; Self-assembled monolayer; SAM; thiol; ethylene glycol; OEG; PEG; biosensor; surface chemistry; biotin; streptavidin; ellipsometry; contact angle goniometry; surface plasmon resonance; SPR; impedance spectroscopy; IS; sensor surface;

    Abstract :   Control of protein immobilization at sensor surfaces is of great interest within various scientific fields, since it enables studies of specific biomolecular interactions. To achieve this, one must be able to immobilize proteins with retained native structure, while minimizing non-specific protein binding. READ MORE
