  1. 1. Molecular characterization of vascular malformations using single-cell RNA sequencing and immunohistological analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Amanda Norrén; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : CCM is a human disease in which vascular malformations develop in the central nervous system, predominantly in the brain. The malformations which can measure up to several centimeters in size are dilated and leaky vessels, with unstable cellular junctions and thin vessel walls. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
    Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.

  4. 3. Sustainable Polymer Production: Investigating Synthesis and Copolymerization of Cyclic Ketene Acetals

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Soufian Bourraman; Stella Staffas; Adam Brandt; Simon Isaksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Monomers; polymers; radical; radical ring opening polymerization; polymerization; BMDO; MMA; MVL; MBL; comonomer; copolymer; rROP; sustainable; biobased; degradable; monomer synthesis; plastic; polyester; bulk; solution; NMR; FTIR; TGA; DSC; SEC; hydrolysis; molecular weight; diol; ester bonds;

    Abstract : The large amount of non-degradable plastic waste has become a significant environmental concern, leading to an increased need for degradable plastics. Here in, to create degradable polymers, polyesters were produced through radical ring opening polymerization using cyclic ketene acetals. READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterization of a novel bacteriumoriginating from a biogas process

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Louise Welén; [2023]
    Keywords : biogas; ammonia-tolerance; mesophilic; characterization; bacterium;

    Abstract : An anaerobic bacterium, isolated from an enrichment culture originating from a biogas reactor operating at high ammonia conditions, was characterised via various tests. An analysis of the 16S rRNA gene confirmed that the closest relative was Desulfotomaculum halophilum with 92,5 % similarity. READ MORE

  6. 5. Lignin Biorefining: Swelling and activation of fibers for lignin extraction

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Ali Al Husseinat; [2023]
    Keywords : Biorefining; Carboxymethylation; Extraction; Lignin; Swelling; Bioraffinering; Extraktion; Karboxymetylering; Lignin; Svällning;

    Abstract : I världens omvandling mot en bioekonomi kommer lignocellulosa material spela en stor roll i ersättningen av fossila resurser. Lignin är den mest tillgängliga källan av förnybara och naturligt förekommande aromatiska ämne och den utgör 15–30% av ved. READ MORE
