Polymerer är naturliga eller syntetiska makromolekyler som är uppbyggda av flera repeterande enheter, monomerer. I blocksampolymerer är de ingående typerna av monomerer fördelade i olika block i polymeren, t.ex. A och B. Blocksampolymerer är ett intressant forskningsområde med möjliga tillämpningar inom bland annat läkemedelstransport, så kallad controlled drug release, d.v.s för kontrollerad frisIn the present work, the formation of complex coacervate micelles and aggregates of the oppositely charged diblock copolymers poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)27-b-poly((3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammoniumchloride)15 [PNIPAAM27-b-PAMPTMA15(+)] and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)27-b-poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic sodium)15 [PNIPAAM27-b-PAMPS15(-)] in aqueous solution have been studied at diff

Denna studie kommer att examinera hur man undersöker passformen mellan arbetsprocesser och funktioner som finns tillgängligt i ett informationssystem som användarna använder. Syftet är att överblicka och se vilka delar av en arbetsprocess som inte utförs effektivt, och därmed inte har en bra passform men informationssystemets funktioner.
