Functional model surfaces made from regenerative cellulose

Bachelor Thesis

In this project model surfaces made of Trimethylsilyl Cellulose are investigated. The aim is to better understand pathways to functionalize paper, for example, its wet strength. It comprises sample preparation via Spin-Coating and characterisation with Atomic-Force-Microscopy o investigate its topography.
