Transformer 3D Nanostructures: Stimuli Responsive Polymers

这项研究计划将开发智能纳米结构，这种结构将能够使用廉价的聚合物材料生产高附加值产品，但实现更大的最终用途功能设计能力。从这个项目中获得的知识将在许多使用纳米材料和聚合物的领域有潜在的应用，包括高强度涂层、电子工业的导电涂层、药物和疫苗输送设备、组织支架、纳米传感器和基因输送。这些聚合物技术将通过提供以前无法提供的先进特性和功能，使澳大利亚工业公司能够显著提高产品性能。

This research program will develop smart nanostructures that will be capable of producing high value added products using cheap polymer materials but achieving a much greater design capacity for end-use functions. The knowledge gained from this project will have potential applications in many areas where nanomaterials and polymers are used, including high strength coatings, conducting coatings for the electronic industry, drug and vaccine delivery devices, tissue scaffolds, nanosensors, and gene delivery. These polymer techniques will enable Australian Industry to significantly improve product performance by providing advanced features and capabilities previously unavailable.
