3D microarchitecture for functional polymeric materials and their applications

使用聚合物材料来推进生物医学科学和技术的使用正在增加，特别是在开发先进的医疗设备、个性化医疗保健和植入物方面。近年来，通过新概念的实验设计的智能聚合物材料为治疗药物输送、组织再生和修复以及诊断和分析设备开辟了创新的途径。然而，从创新到日常使用的成功过渡是缓慢的，因为设计这种具有理想智能功能的聚合物材料非常具有挑战性。在拟议的项目中，研究团队将开发先进的聚合物材料，并通过开发创新的制造方法使其成为药物输送和细胞分析的通用平台。

The use of polymer materials to advance biomedical science and technology is on the rise, particularly for the development of advanced medical devices, personalized medical care, and implants. In recent years, smart polymer materials designed through experimentation with novel concepts have opened innovative routes for therapeutic drug delivery, tissue regeneration and repair, and diagnostic and analysis devices. However, successful transition from innovation to daily usage is slow because engineering such polymer materials equipped with desirable smart functions is very challenging. In the proposed project, the research team will generate advanced polymer materials and make them versatile platforms for drug delivery and cell analysis by developing innovative fabrication methods.
