Hanna Isaksson (Lund University)18/01/2018, 08:30The musculoskeletal system enables locomotion of the human body, by force transfer through bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Each tissue has a unique composition and hierarchical structure that result in an optimized mechanical function. Bone provides mechanical stability and support, while softer tissues such as tendons have a more damping function. With an aging population, the number...Go to contribution page

Ms Shirin Nouhi (Uppsala University)18/01/2018, 09:20Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics which makes them useful in many commercial and industrial applications such as textile, leather and paper impregnation, detergents, fire-fighting foam, etc. These compounds are receiving increasing global concern due to their persistence, bioaccumulation and possible adverse effects on the environment and...Go to contribution page

Dr Christina Efthymiou (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand and Uppsala University, Sweden)18/01/2018, 09:40Biomaterials widely presented in nature, like protein filaments in muscles, elastin in lungs, collagen in bones, cellulose fibers in fruits, and keratin in wool, self-assemble resulting in hierarchical structures that define their properties and uses. These hierarchical structures emerge from molecular and supra-molecular self-assembly systems organized on multiple length- and time-scales on...Go to contribution page
