Smart materials that can reversibly change their properties in response to changes in their environment (e.g. temperature, pH, chemical concentrations, magnetic fields, or light) offer significant potential in biomedical applications, with particular promise in enabling the development of drug delivery vehicles with improved targeted and/or time-dependent drug dosing and tissue engineering scaffolds with well-controlled cell-scaffold interactions.Research in the Hoare lab is focused on coupling engineering approaches (including high-throughput screening and statistical analysis) with advanced physical characterization of smart materials to identify optimized smart material chemistries and structures with customized and/or novel properties for targeted applications.

可以随着环境(如温度、pH、化学浓度、磁场或光线)的变化而可逆地改变其性能的智能材料在生物医学应用中具有巨大的潜力，特别是在开发具有改进的靶向和/或依赖于时间的药物剂量的药物输送载体和具有良好控制的细胞-支架相互作用的组织工程支架方面。Hoare实验室的研究重点是将工程方法(包括高通量筛选和统计分析)与智能材料的高级物理表征相结合，以确定具有定制和/或新奇特性的优化智能材料化学和结构，以用于目标应用。
