Funded Activity Summary

Biomimetic catalysis for sustainable polymer syntheses. New classes of sustainable polymers are required to produce biodegradable materials for nanotechnology applications. This project aims to address this demand by developing versatile polymerisation catalysis protocols inspired by enzymatic systems. This new method of polymer synthesis expects to generate a diverse set of nanomaterials using chemical networks that modulate reaction conditions on-demand, providing facile control over polymer form and resulting function. The expected outcomes of this project will advance our understanding of polymer structure-property relationships and stimuli-responsive systems, and should provide significant benefits for the deployment of biorenewable polymers as next-generation soft materials.
