Funded Activity Summary

A platform technology for developing mesoporous polymer particles. This project aims to apply polymerisation-induced self-assembly process to develop triggerable mesoporous polymer particles as advanced functional materials for various applications. By combining this scalable process and automated synthesis technique, mesoporous polymer particles that can disassemble in response to external triggers, such as light, redox conditions and enzymes, will be developed. The knowledge gained from this research will allow researchers to fully understand the formation and evolution mechanism of inverse bicontinuous structures observed in nature and produced in synthetic labs. Importantly, the applications of these novel stimuli-responsive particles as nano-carriers and templating scaffolds will be investigated.
