Funded Activity Summary

Bioactive Polymer Platelets. This project aims to develop polymers that can be self-assembled into 2D structures. Most nanoparticles developed for drug delivery are spherical. However these are not always the most efficacious as theory suggest that non-spherical nanoparticles have longer circulation times. It is proposed that discoid morphologies may be advantageous as they tend to migrate to the vascular membrane and adhere more efficiently. The polymers developed by this project will be tailored towards bioactive and biocompatible material to create a drug delivery platform for more efficient disease treatment. The outcome will be better understanding on how polymer platelets can be obtained and how they compare in their biological activity with spherical nanoparticles.
