This project will break new ground in light-induced step-growth precipitation polymerisation techniques for polymer particle formation that do not require any initiator, surfactants, additives or heating, thus constituting an environmentally friendly process. The project will establish the underpinning photochemical particle formation processes and establish a broad monomer base for the production of particles with a wide property profile, including particles with tailored surface properties and the ability to degrade upon a defined trigger signal. Scaling the particles' synthesis, including using Australian sunlight, will enable multi-gram production allowing real-world applications.

该项目将在用于聚合物颗粒形成的光诱导逐步增长沉淀聚合技术方面开辟新天地，该技术不需要任何引发剂，表面活性剂，添加剂或加热，因此构成了一种环境友好的工艺。该项目将建立基础的光化学颗粒形成过程，并建立广泛的单体基础，用于生产具有广泛特性的颗粒，包括具有定制表面特性的颗粒以及在定义的触发信号下降解的能力。扩大粒子的合成，包括使用澳大利亚的阳光，将使多克的生产允许现实世界的应用。
