Precision porous polymer microparticles via integrated flow processes. This project aims at a step-change in functional, porous microparticle manufacture. To achieve this, the project will use precision flow chemistry techniques that will integrate emulsion preparation, microparticle production and chemical functionalisation in one continuous process.

To achieve this, the project will use precision flow chemistry techniques that will integrate emulsion preparation, microparticle production and chemical functionalisation in one continuous process. The expected outcome of the project is a process for the manufacture of a suite of designer porous polymer microparticles. Expected benefits are disruptive advances in a number of key technological sectors, including biomedicine, pharmacy, energy and bioprocessing. Platform technology for cartilage tissue engineering has been chosen as an exemplar of the power of precision microparticles.Read moreRead less

Summary
Advanced characterisation of materials by nuclear magnetic resonance. Advanced characterisation of materials by nuclear magnetic resonance will support a broad range of research possibilities for development of advanced materials for medical, industrial and environmental applications. Details of molecular structure and mobility will be uncovered which will provide guidance for making improvements to new and existing materials.
