Synthesis and Functionalisation of Advanced Polymer Films and Particles.

纳米和生物技术前沿的科学和技术进步有望彻底改变治疗和医疗保健选择的范围。该项目将涉及具有多功能和智能响应能力的工程聚合物构建块的合成。然后，这些智能聚合物将组装成用于药物输送和生物传感应用的响应性纳米结构材料。这些材料预计将对澳大利亚公民的健康有益，并将有助于世界领先的纳米生物技术产业。该项目还将为年轻科学家提供发展机会，并将促进澳大利亚国内外的多学科合作。

Scientific and technological advances at the frontiers of nano- and biotechnology are poised to revolutionise the scope of treatment and healthcare options. This project will involve the synthesis of engineered polymer building blocks with the capability for multifunctional and intelligent response. These smart polymers will then be assembled into responsive nanostructured materials for drug delivery and biosensing applications. These materials are expected to have health benefits for Australian citizens and will contribute to a world-leading nanobiotechnology industry. The project will also provide development opportunities for young scientists and will also foster multidisciplinary collaborations within both Australia and abroad.
