Three-Dimensional Polymer Fibre Scaffolds with Functional Nano-structured Surface. The Partner Organisation to this research, CyGenics Ltd, is a world leader in cell biotechnology. A key challenge faced by the CyGenics and other biotech companies is the provision of tissue scaffolding materials that have the right three-dimensional macroscopic structure plus a suitable nano-structured surface micro-environment, similar to the natural extracellular matrix. This joint project combines expertise in ....Three-Dimensional Polymer Fibre Scaffolds with Functional Nano-structured Surface. The Partner Organisation to this research, CyGenics Ltd, is a world leader in cell biotechnology. A key challenge faced by the CyGenics and other biotech companies is the provision of tissue scaffolding materials that have the right three-dimensional macroscopic structure plus a suitable nano-structured surface micro-environment, similar to the natural extracellular matrix. This joint project combines expertise in polymer fibres, surface engineering and cell culture to tackle the key challenge. The outcome will help position the local polymer fibre and cell culture industries at the forefront of tissue scaffolding materials research and development. Read moreRead less
Wet-Spinning Novel Multi-Functional Bio-Synthetic Platforms. The project will deliver new advanced materials for novel biomedical devices such as nanostructured electrodes and tunable drug delivery systems. It will develop a very versatile and low-cost technology that is well-suited for overcoming some of the current limitations in exploiting nanomaterials in nanoscience and biomedical industries. The research will benefit existing biomedical industries in Australia and provide opportunities for ....Wet-Spinning Novel Multi-Functional Bio-Synthetic Platforms.
