Abstract:

Paper and board are hydrophobized (sized) to control the spreading and absorption of waterbased inks and retard the absorption and edge penetration of liquid packaging by aqueous liquids. Alkenyl ketene dimers (AKD) and alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) are synthetic sizing agents that are generally used under neutral or slightly alkaline papermaking conditions. The overall objective of this thesis is to improve understanding of the internal sizing of paper and board by AKD and ASA by establishing a link between the sizing mechanism on one hand, and properties of sized papers, such as surface c

Abstract:

The focus in this thesis has been to gain a fundamental understanding of how different type of salts affect preadsorbed polyelectrolytes, both natural and synthetic. The knowledge from the fundamental work is then applied on a commercial system to investigate if the efficiency can be enhanced. We built thin films using the synthetic polyelctrolytes by using layer-by layer (LbL) deposition. The formed film is commonly known as a polyelectrolyte multilayer. The LbL method allows the incorporation of proteins, polymers, polyelectrolytes with different functions and so on within the film, thus ach

Abstract:

Unspecific interactions, at the interface between a synthetic material and an aqueous biological environment, leading to irreversible protein adsorption can cause to undesired consequences. These include fouling of a boat hull or a triggered immune response. Thus, stealthy materials are a topic that has generated a great deal of interest in the scientific community. This work deals with the design of networks, nanoparticles, and surfaces containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), known for its resistance to protein adsorption and non-toxic nature. Initially, PEG-based networks, hydrogels, were sy

Abstract:

The environmental stability of a metal / polymer interface is essential for the durability and mechanical stability of constructions in several important areas such as the automotive, offshore, building and aerospace industries.

The surface to be analysed is confined between two media that are impermeable to most probing particles used in conv

The aim of this thesis work was to systematically investigate the physico-chemical properties of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) formed by bottle brush and linear polyelectrolytes in solution and at solid / liquid interfaces.

Bottle brush architecture, introduced into the PEC, generates a number of distinctive properties of the complexes, related to a broad range of application, such as colloidal stability

Aqueous silica is present in all natural waters and exhibits a high affinity for the surfaces of iron oxides. Therefore, it is expected to play an important role in environmental systems.

Over the entire pH range studied, sorption densities exceeding monolayer sorption were observed at silica levels typical of natural waters.

Abstract:

The principal objectives of this thesis are to introduce a new method, colloidal particle scattering (CPS), to measure colloidal and surface forces, and to demonstrate various applications of this method.

Since the force to deflect a micron-sized particle is much smaller than that to deform a macroscopic spring or cantilever used in a commercial force apparatus, this new technique increases the resolution of f

In Sweden the encapsulated nuclear waste will be surrounded by compacted bentonite in the granitic host rock.

Furthermore, in the scenario of a leaking canister, strongly sorbing radionuclides, can be transported by montmorillonite colloids towards the biosphere.
