Funded Activity Summary

Novel smart materials: development of positively thermo-responsive polymers for biomedical applications. The project will develop novel materials, which drastically change their structure and shape on a microscopic level in response to subtle temperature changes. In modern pharmaceuticals, this smart behaviour can be exploited to cause tailored microscopic containers to open inside the body and release medicine exactly where and when it is needed.
