This doctoral programme dates back to 1987, the year when doctoral programmes based on Spain’s recently enacted University Reform Law were launched. In 1994, the current programme was set up by combining the Plastics and Polymers and Structural Molecular Biology programmes, bringing together the Department’s most established research activities in two optional subject areas: polymers and biopolymers.


The Spanish Ministry of Education recognised the excellence of the programme in 2004 by granting it a quality award (MCD2004-00290). Since then, the quality award has been renewed without interruption following regular audits, and in 2011, the programme was granted a Pathway to Excellence award (MEE2011-0310), which remained in effect until 2013, when the award programme ended. The programme was associated with the UPC master’s degree in Polymers and Biopolymers and is now linked to the master’s degree in Chemical Engineering – Smart Chemical Factories (Smart Polymer Engineering, specialisation track).

The programme harnesses the research experience that the UPC has gained in the field of polymers and biopolymers over more than 40 years of continuous activity. This experience currently underpins the work of more than half a dozen recognised groups devoted exclusively to research in this field, all of which participate in the National RDI Programme, mainly in the materials area.

The doctoral programme is aimed at the polymer materials sector, which is one of the most active in the chemical industry. Polymer production continues to grow, as they replace other kinds of materials and enable technological innovations that are impossible with other materials. It is important to note that polymer materials have a special impact on science, and specifically, on the creation of advanced materials for use in a wide range of sectors from biomedicine to the electronics industry. Producing specialists capable of leading R&D projects in polymer technology is essential for competitive development.

The existence of national and international doctoral programmes in this field with similar characteristics speaks to the value and importance of this programme at the current time. In the USA, there are countless doctoral programmes that focus on polymer science and engineering. In Europe, many prestigious institutions (including the University of Manchester, University of Bayreuth, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, and University of Lyon) offer doctoral degrees in polymers and biopolymers, generally linked to master’s degrees in the same field. Doctoral programmes in this field are also starting to take off at technology-oriented universities in Asia. Despite a high concentration of industrial activity in this sector in Catalonia, this doctoral programme is the only one focusing on polymers that is offered in the region.


The way the programme is focused facilitates the achievement of a series of objectives, enabling students to develop expertise in the field by providing:

a) Systematic, streamlined and up-to-date knowledge of the scientific and technological foundations of polymers and biopolymers.

b) Knowledge and use of bibliographic sources as required to justify, underpin and support research on topics related to polymers and biopolymers.

c) Experimental knowledge of the main methodologies applied in the manufacture, characterisation and evaluation of properties of polymers and biopolymers.

d) Scientific and technological criteria for planning, implementing and directing a basic or applied research project on any topic in the field of specialisation.

Duration of studies and dedication regime

Duration
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years.

When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the requirement to complete this minimum period of study.

Temporary disability leave and leave for the birth of a child, adoption or fostering for the purposes of adoption, temporary foster care, risk during pregnancy or infant feeding, gender violence and any other situation provided for in current regulations do not count towards these periods. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which must inform the Doctoral School.

Doctoral candidates may request periods of temporary withdrawal from the programme for up to a total of two years. Requests must be justified and addressed to the academic committee responsible for the programme, which will decide whether or not to grant the candidate's request.

Extension of studies
If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
  • The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
  • The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
  • A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
  • The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
  • The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Dismissal from the programme means that the doctoral candidate cannot continue studying at the UPC and that their academic record will be closed. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission, and the committee must reevaluate the candidate in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

A doctoral candidate who has been dismissed due to having exceeded the time limit for completing doctoral studies or due to an unsatisfactory assessment may not be Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Page 17 of 33 admitted to the same doctoral programme until at least two years have elapsed from the date of dismissal, as provided for in sections 3.4 and 9.2 of these regulations.

Admission criteria and merits assessment

Weighting of admission criteria:

1. Applicant’s curriculum vitae: Type of training and marks awarded, as well as research and professional experience (70%).
2. Personal contact through online or face-to-face interviews (15%).
3. English language skills (15%)

Admissions body
The programme has an academic committee that assesses student applications. Each month, the committee reviews applications submitted through the pre-enrolment application.

The doctoral programme has a specific form for doctoral students to indicate their scientific and technical interests. Based on this information, and taking into account the needs and capacity of research groups, the academic committee channels the applications accepted so that tutors and thesis supervisors can be assigned.

If the academic committee deems that additional training is required for an applicant to be admitted, it determines what bridging courses the student will be required to take to ensure that they have the necessary skills, knowledge and abilities (up to a maximum of 60 ECTS credits).

Training complements

The academic committee for the doctoral programme may require that students pass specific bridging courses. Additional training requirements will be determined based on each student's academic background. In such cases, the committee will keep track of the bridging courses completed and establish appropriate criteria to limit their duration.

Bridging courses may provide research or cross-disciplinary training, but in no case may doctoral students be required to enrol for 60 or more ECTS credits.

Students will complete any additional training within the framework of the master's degree in Chemical Engineering offered by the Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE-UPC) or by taking cross-disciplinary training courses organised by the UPC. This master's degree includes a specialisation module in Smart Polymer Engineering (SPE), which offers students the possibility of acquiring a specialisation in which the Department has a solid track record in both teaching and research.

Based on each applicant's background and the gaps in their training, bridging courses are selected from among subjects taught on the master's degree in Chemical Engineering. Applicants are informed of the bridging courses they will be required to take prior to the enrolment process. At the same time, they are also provided with information on the frequency with which courses are offered and the pertinence of their content.

The following points apply to any bridging courses that doctoral students may be required to take:

1. Bridging courses are subjects of the specified master's degree and must be administratively linked to the student’s enrolment in the doctoral degree. They may be taken in one or two semesters, depending on the student’s previous training and the frequency with which they are offered.

2. Students who do not successfully complete required bridging courses will be automatically excluded from the programme.

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student

Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan

Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.

At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.

The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.

If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.

Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director

The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.

The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.

PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.

The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.

A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.

Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.

If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.

The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.

For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.

More information at the PhD theses section

Permanence

The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
  • The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
  • The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
  • A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
  • The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
  • The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Dismissal from the programme means that the doctoral candidate cannot continue studying at the UPC and that their academic record will be closed. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission, and the committee must reevaluate the candidate in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

    Thesis abstract: Cancer remains the leading cause of death in many developed countries. Despite significant progress in cancer treatment many challenges persist, such as severe side effects, damage to healthy tissues due to non-specific drug distribution and high systemic toxicity.Multiresponsive biomaterials systems have emerged as powerful tools for biomedical applications, especially in cancer treatment. This research aims to advance materials approaches to cancer therapy through the development of new electro-responsive materials platforms, incorporating smart nanoparticles (NPs) and transdermal or implantable devices. For example, NPs were used for controlled drug delivery triggered by electrical stimulation, while the devices also responded to secondary stimuli such as acidic pH or to the presence of tumor biomarkers. This combination of external and endogenous stimuli provides enhanced spatiotemporal control over drug delivery.Several therapeutic agents were tested, including an anticancer pentapeptide (CR(NMe)EKA), or drugs like curcumin, and chloramphenicol. The therapeutic agents were loaded into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) NPs (PEDOT NPs), which provided the electrical stimuli response. These drug-loaded PEDOT NPs were then incorporated into various biomaterials scaffolds, such as pH-responsive hydrogels and bio-responsive fibers, creating multiresponsive devices. For instance, to achieve a multiresponsive injectable carrier for controlled delivery of the anticancer peptide CR(NMe)EKA, a biocompatible and pH-responsive hydrogel, formed by phenylboronic acid grafted with chitosan, was synthesized and loaded with PEDOT NPs. An electro-chemo responsive hydrogel for chloramphenicol release was prepared by grafting polyacrylic acid onto sodium alginate and encapsulating PEDOT NPs in situ. Additionally, a wireless biomaterials-based electrostimulation system was developed to enable controlled and on-demand release of anticancer drugs, promoting in vitro human prostate cancer cell death. This system utilized curcumin-loaded PEDOT NPs encapsulated in coaxial poly(glycerol sebacate)/poly(caprolactone) electrospun fibers.Overall, this work lays the foundation for designing and developing smarter, more effective biomaterial-based delivery systems for anticancer therapy.Keywords: cancer therapy; controlled drug delivery; electroresponsive nanoparticles; multiresponsive biomaterials; targeting cancer cells.

    Thesis abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern, which leads to increased morbidity and mortality, huge economic burden to the healthcare systems and potentially untreatable infections. Due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics, the natural adaptation has been accelerated and bacteria have developed multiple ways to degrade, alter, or expel drug molecules. Besides these resistance mechanisms, bacteria can adhere to surfaces and grow as biofilms – organised assemblies of surface-bound cells, enclosed in a self-produced extracellular polymer matrix (EPM). The EPM holds the pathogens together, enables adhesion to surfaces, and enhances the tolerance to host immune responses and antibiotics compared to free-floating cells. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been suggested as a potential solution to fight resistant bacteria due to their strong antimicrobial activity and versatile mechanisms of action. However, inherent toxicity towards mammalian cells and large variation of physical properties are challenges that preclude the clinical application of such materials. In this thesis, metal NPs have been combined with different biomolecules for enhanced biocompatibility, increased antimicrobial efficacy, and enabling new functionalities to mitigate AMR.The first part of the thesis describes the formation of Ag NPs using bioactive macromolecules to produce multifunctional nanostructures. First, the matrix-degrading enzyme (MDE) α-amylase was used to reduce Ag(I), yielding NPs with antimicrobial and biofilm-degrading activity towards both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Then, chitosan-Ag NPs were decorated with the quorum-quenching enzyme (QQE) acylase I, which combination was able to kill Pseudomonas aeruginosa, hinder biofilm formation, and inhibit bacterial quorum sensing (QS) based on acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). Finally, adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) was grafted on hyaluronic acid (HA) and used to form Ag NPs. The modified polymer (HA-ADH) played a crucial role in the interaction of the NPs with bacterial membranes, assessed using Langmuir isotherms, and reduced the toxicity of Ag towards human cells. In the second part of the thesis, HA-ADH and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were used to produce nanostructured complexes with a scarcely studied antimicrobial Co(II). On one hand, Co(II) formed a complex with the biopolymer, which complex was transformed to antimicrobial nanogels (NGs) using an ultrasonic approach. On the other hand, incubation of EGCG with Co(II) yielded nanostructured metal-phenolic networks (MPN). These cobalt-containing NPs were active towards both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and were able to inhibit biofilm formation due to the capacity of ECGC to disrupt QS. The last chapter of the thesis validates the use of the novel nanomaterials for antimicrobial functionalisation of medical devices. Coating of contact lenses with NGs hindered bacterial colonisation and unspecific absorption of proteins without affecting the optical properties and comfort of the material. Inclusion of MPN NPs in thiolated hyaluronic acid (THA) hydrogels endowed these materials with properties promoting efficient chronic wound treatment. The antibiotic-free hydrogels were able to control the main factors of wound chronicity by inhibiting the activity of deleterious wound enzymes, scavenging reactive oxidative species, and demonstrating pronounced antimicrobial activity, resulting in similar to commercial products wound management efficacy confirmed in vivo.

    Thesis abstract: This Ph.D. thesis delves into the realm of electrochemical biosensors, pivotal devices enabling the sensitive and timely detection of diverse biomolecules. Specifically, it explores the critical role of biosensors in biomedical applications, where the swift identification of biomarkers like Glucose (G), Dopamine (DA), Serotonin (SE), and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH) is imperative for diagnosing conditions such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and emerging infections, among other diseases.The thesis offers an in-depth examination of various biosensors engineered to target specific biomolecules, elucidating the methodologies and recent advancements pivotal in shaping device development. Noteworthy is the investigation into the influence of different materials, including conducting polymers (CPs), ceramic materials, carbon-based materials among others, on biosensor performance. Special attention is devoted to the design of intricate nanocomposites aimed at achieving heightened selectivity and sensitivity.Incorporating conducting polymers (CPs) like PEDOT into biosensors has proven successful, especially in detecting Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH) from various bacteria. This enhances sensor conductivity and sensitivity, crucial for identifying bacterial activity. Notably, this thesis implements this approach in biomedical devices such as sutures and meshes, expanding biosensor applications to infection detection.On another front, the thesis highlights the success of engineering biosensors from 3D printed insulating thermoplastics for the detection of Dopamine (DA) among other biomolecules. Leveraging innovative strategies, these biosensors demonstrate remarkable selectivity and sensitivity in detecting DA, paving the way for enhanced diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disorders and other related conditions.Furthermore, the thesis explores the engineering of conductive devices based on biological materials such as Alginate hydrogels and peptides. These bio-inspired materials offer unique properties conducive to biosensor development, including biocompatibility and tunable conductivity. By harnessing the inherent characteristics of biological materials, novel biosensors with enhanced performance and functionality can be realized, opening new avenues for biomedical diagnostics and therapeutic interventions.Through this comprehensive exploration of diverse biosensor technologies and strategies, the thesis aims to contribute significantly to the ongoing evolution of electrochemical biosensors. By shedding light on the successful incorporation of advanced materials and innovative engineering approaches, it offers valuable insights into the potential of biosensors for transformative applications in various biomedical fields, ultimately advancing the frontiers of medical diagnosis and treatment.

    Thesis abstract: Nature is in continuous change and evolution in response to environmental shifts. That is because different micro- and nanotextures have emerged on some plant leaves or insect skins. These surface patterns enable them to possess advanced surface properties. Some examples include the superhydrophobic and self-cleaning leaves of the lotus plant, or the dry adhesion found on gecko feet. There has been a strong trend in recent years to transfer these surface textures to industrial applications to replace various coatings currently in use. The development of transformation technologies and the extensive knowledge of materials developed in recent decades have allowed for the extension of materials onto which these microtextures can be replicated.In the case of Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), studies on replication focus on laboratory-scale technologies that allow for high replication but low production throughput. However, these materials possess properties of great interest and can have many synergies with microtexturing: good biocompatibility for use in medical devices, weather resistance for self-cleaning or superhydrophobic surfaces, or good mechanical and chemical resistance that can extend the lifespan of microtextures on the surface. In order to extend studies on replication techniques of microtextures on liquid silicone surfaces, this thesis has been developed focusing on replication through injection of microtexturized inserts. There have been some previous works on replication using this technology; however, they fail to achieve good demolding or uniform textures in height due to the use of textured metallic inserts. Therefore, this thesis proposes the use of textured films to facilitate demolding due to the flexibility of the film.This thesis is divided into two main parts: The first part consists of the development of tools and technology for the replication of liquid silicone parts by injection. Firstly, optimization is carried out on the manufacture of textured films by nanoimprint lithography to withstand the injection conditions of this material. After this initial optimization and with the manufacturing of the necessary tools, a study and optimization of different part geometries for the different studied microtextures (pillars, lines, and holes ranging from 1 to 50 microns) are conducted. The second part of the thesis consists of an extensive study of different advanced surface properties due to microtexturing. This includes properties such as surface wettability or roughness studies, as well as different studies of part durability for the application of different mechanical stresses. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the study of biological properties, of interest in the medical sector. The studies focus on the variation of cellular growth and adhesion due to the presence of microtextures. Based on all the results obtained, a use case of an optogenetic implant is proposed.From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the replication method proposed and developed in this thesis is an optimal method for industrial scaling of these microtextures in liquid silicone. Not only because of its high production throughput but also because of the versatility of part geometries and microtextures it allows. This versatility of microtextures enables the acquisition of a wide range of surface properties of high interest at an industrial level. Particularly in the case of the medical sector, where a use case of a microtexturized implantable device with this technology has been demonstrated, which could be extendable to other applications.

    Thesis abstract: Viruses and their infections have always affected human lives throughout history. Globalization contributed positively to the progress of human society in science and medicine which permited to deal with viruses, but the reality is that the number of infections does not decrease over the years. Globalization itself is here agin one of the main factors, as people move in more densely populated areas, which favors the spread of viruses. Another important factor is the viruses themselves, which over the years have shown a constant evolution that allowed them to adapt to new hosts. For these reasons, human-led efforts such as vaccines, antiviral treatments, sensors etc. are critical tools for human survival, and like viruses, humans must continue to innovate. This thesis focused on providing different understandings of a series of biochemical processes at molecular the level to facilitate the design of plasmonic resonance sensors, currently used for detecting diseases such as cancer, to enable a similar detection improvement in other viruses and diseases such as HIV and SARS-Cov-2.This thesis is divided into two parts, with the first focusing on the characterization related to the HIV virus. Several studies have been carried out using a combination of different molecular simulation techniques, classical dynamics, quantum mechanics and hybrid QM/MM-MD methods. These studies characterize the behavior of the antibody chosen in the design of the sensor, IgG1 , as well as its interactions with the silica surface that compounds the sensor and its orientation once functionalized on top of the surface. Additional studies were performedm focusing on the interaction between the immunoglobulin G and the glycoprotein that forms part of the HIV virus spike, and permited to identify the interactions helping the antibody to attach to the virus for the virus inhibition.In the second part, the same molecular simulation techniques have been used to study the virus which completely changed the world in 2020, SARS-CoV-2 known for the disease COVID19. As this virus was new at the time of the thesis, there was a dramatic lack of knowledge. Molecular modelling techniques were used to study the behavior of the virus spike in presence of heat or solvated in water. Similar studies to the case of HIV-IgG1 were performed between SARS-CoV-2 spike and different promising antibodies with the goal to identify the best candidate for sensor functionalization or virus inhibition. In this section, the interaction between the virus spike and the ACE2 enzyme, the target cell that SARS-CoV-2 use to infect human body, was also characterized. Finally, new antibodies were designed combining the previous ones with IgG1 and their behavior was studied in the presence of the sensor’s silica surface and the nanoparticles gold surface used in the detector

    Thesis abstract: Microencapsulation process of polymers and biopolymer is the most important technique in a polymer industry to make it unique and applicable in various fields of daily life. When it comes to the accuracy of the method only Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations or numerical solution provides the authenticity of the method. CFD analysis gives a more schematic approach instead of any other Simulation method.In this thesis detailed use of governing equations of CFD is used to predict the accuracy of the microencapsulation method. The experimentation was done in the laboratory of the department of polymers and biopolymers under the supervision of Prof Luis J. Dell Valle. By using CFD the results are more precise, clear and accurate along with the zero minimum percentage of human error. After representing a literature review for the modeling of microencapsulation process in the first chapter, the methodology about how the process began and what parameters we followed to fulfill the requirement of the project. The effect of impeller speed 5000 rpm, 7500 rpm, 1000 rpm, 12000 rpm and 15000 rpm were determined on the number density functions and particle size reduction in the microencapsulation domain.Ansys. Fluent R2 2020 was used to model the experimental data. For the purpose of modeling the particle size distribution discrete method of population balance model is used. A total of five bins were selected to perform the size distribution analyze. The reason for selecting this small diameter range is the focus and accuracy of the solver. The bins should be more than enough to cover the distribution range and small enough to save computational time. Realizable k-e, Eulerian framework and appropriate bins initial values are used to predict the multiphase behavior. Under these conditions simulation converges very well and gives good agreement with the validation and experimental data.

Quality

The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.
