Tiny polymeric structures with well-defined shape and size such as particles, membranes, and patterned**surfaces can have great potential in biomedical applications such as invasive drug delivery, bioassay,**biosensing, and cellular studies. One popular approach to generate such structures is to use**photopolymerization with ultraviolet light. The Metal Halide Lamps are commonly used for a UV source but**suffer from UV-intensity fluctuation, long warm-up requirement, and short-life-time. Alternatively, LED**systems offer highly stable intensity, no requirements for warm-up or cool-downt, and long life-time but they**are mostly used for targeted simulation and imaging in life science research, yet there are potential applications**in material science, for example, to create polymeric structures based on photopolymerization.**Dr. Hwang's group at Ryerson University has developed several techniques to generate polymeric structures**based on photopolymerization. Mightex Systems is a leading manufacturer and supplier of photonic products**and services. One of their main products is high-power LED systems. This Engage grant will enable Migthex**Systems and the Ryerson team to begin working towards successfully using LED systems for their application**in material science, particularly to generate particles and membranes with well-defined shape and size. Thus,**this collaboration will broaden the utilization of Mightex LED systems and thus strengthen their market share.

微小的聚合结构具有明确的形状和大小，例如颗粒，膜和图案**表面在生物医学应用中具有巨大的潜力，例如侵入性药物递送，生物测定，**生物透镜和细胞研究。产生此类结构的一种流行方法是使用紫外线使用**光聚合。金属卤化物灯通常用于紫外线源，但**遭受紫外线强度的波动，长时间的热身需求和短期寿命。另外，LED **系统提供了高度稳定的强度，没有对热身或凉爽的人的要求，并且长寿，但它们**主要用于生命科学研究中的有针对性的模拟和成像，但是在材料科学中，在材料科学中存在潜在的应用**，例如创建基于光聚合基于光聚合的聚合结构。瑞尔森大学（Ryerson University）的Hwang小组已经开发了基于光聚合化的多种技术来生成聚合结构**。 Mightex Systems是光子产品和服务的领先制造商和供应商。他们的主要产品之一是高功率LED系统。这项参与赠款将使Migthex **系统和Ryerson团队能够开始成功地将LED系统用于材料科学的应用程序，尤其是生成具有明确定义的形状和大小的颗粒和膜。因此，**这种合作将扩大Mightex LED系统的利用，从而加强其市场份额。
