US-Poland Joint Fund Research on Polymerization of Lactones and Lactides to Biodegradable Materials

这个由高分子化学研究所的Zbigniew Jedlinski博士和马萨诸塞大学的Robert Lenz博士合作的美国-波兰联合基金项目将专注于合成既可生物降解又可生物吸收的聚合物。研究人员的主要目标是研究和开发新的聚合物。他们将研究的高分子材料类型对创伤学、外科和药理学的生物医学材料具有重要意义。可生物降解塑料作为解决日益严重的塑料废物处理问题的一种方法，预计将变得越来越重要。聚合物化学的这个项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和波兰的领先专家能够在平等的基础上，在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力。互惠互利。

This US-Polish Joint Fund project between Dr. Zbigniew Jedlinski of the Institute of Polymer Chemistry and Dr. Robert Lenz of the University of Massachusetts will focus on the synthesis of polymers which are both biodegradable and bioresorbable. The researchers' primary objective is to investigate and develop new polymers. The type of polymeric materials that they will study are important for biomedical materials in traumatology, surgery and pharmacology. Biodegradable plastics are expected to become increasingly important as one solution to the growing problem of the waste disposal of plastics. This project in polymer chemistry fulfills the program objectives of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the U.S. and Poland to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
