1. Simulations of polymer solutions displaying a lower critical solution temperature
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionenAbstract : 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

2. Modification of nanofibrillated cellulose with stimuli-responsive polymers
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)Abstract : Research of new sustainable and low cost materials, such as cellulose, is of high interest. Modifications of the cellulose can be performed in order to create a “smart” material which responds to external stimuli, such as variations in pH and temperature, by changing its properties.
