1. 1. Colloidal self-assembly of anisotropic gold nanoparticles

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

   Author : Samuel Emilsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Self-assembly; Gold nanoparticle; Anisotropic; Nanobipyramid; Surface plasmon resonance; Självsammansättningar; Guldnanopartiklar; Anisotrop; Nanobipyramider; Ytplasmonresonans;

   Abstract : The colloidal self-assembly of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is of interest to utilize the plasmonic coupling effects that arise between nanoparticles. The enhanced properties of anisotropic AuNPs make them particularly attractive in self-assemblies. READ MORE

3. 2. The influence of molecular structure of phospholipids on the transition from micelles to bilayers in bile salt surfactant/phospholipid mixtures

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för läkemedelskemi

   Author : Zeyneb Alkademi; [2020]
   Keywords : phospholipids; micelles; bilayers; bile salt; surfactant;

   Abstract : Phospholipid molecules self-assemble to form bilayers that are poorly soluble in an aqueous solvent. Phospholipids may, however, be readily dissolved by mixing with a bile salt or amphiphilic drug surfactant that forms mixed surfactant/phospholipid micelles. READ MORE

4. 3. Self-assembly of Fatty Acids of Hair at the water-air interface

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Marine Batista; [2020]
   Keywords : 18-MEA; 18-methyl eicosanoic acid; Langmuir films; Langmuir-Blodgett films; AFM; Self-assembly; Branched fatty acid; Curvature; 18-MEA; 18-methyleikosansyra; Langmuir monoskikt; Langmuir-Blodgett; AFM; Självassociering; Förgrenad fettsyra; Krökning;

   Abstract : 18-methyl eicosanoic acid (18-MEA), which is a branched fatty acid, is found at the outermost surface of mammalian hair with other straight-chain fatty acids such as palmitic acid and stearic acid. However, the precise role of 18-MEA is not yet completely understood. READ MORE

5. 4. Heteroleptic Copper (I) Complexes as Photosensitizers in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

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

   Author : Angela Raffaella Pia Pizzichetti; [2019]
   Keywords : Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells; Chemical and Environmental Engineering; Photovoltaic; Copper I complexes;

   Abstract : Modern civilization highly depends on energy and finding alternative sources to fossil fuels becomes more and more necessary. The sun is the most abundant energy source available and exploiting it efficiently would result in a great environmental and economic breakthrough. READ MORE

6. 5. Influence of Magnesium in theFormation of Phosphate Spheres : A simple method for the fabrication of sphericalparticles of calcium and magnesium phosphate

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Oorganisk kemi

   Author : Camilla Berg; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Calcium phosphates and recently also magnesium phosphates, are used for medical applications, due to their biocompatibility and bioactivity. These properites makes spherical particles of calcium and magnesium phosphate suitable for carrier materials for drug delivery applications. READ MORE
