Carbon Dioxide: Solvent, Carrier and Reagent, for novel polymer networks with controlled nano-architectures

所提出的环境友好的技术具有广泛的应用，用于改善用于生物医学应用的各种聚合物基质的性能。 开发的工艺将为在澳大利亚制造生物医学聚合物设备增值，并将现有制造方法的许可证作为最佳选择。此外，先进的聚合物技术将减少有机溶剂的消耗，并将吸引国际聚合物和生物技术公司生产植入和药物输送装置。世界级研究的发展使澳大利亚成为该领域的世界领导者，并拓宽了澳大利亚科学家和工程师的知识基础。

The proposed environmentally friendly technology has broad applications for improving properties of various polymeric matrices used for biomedical applications. The process developed would value-add for manufacturing biomedical polymeric devices in Australia with licensing of existing fabrication methods as a best option. Moreover, the leading-edge polymer technology developed would minimise the organic solvent consumption and will attract business from international polymer and biotechnology companies for production of implant and drug delivery devices. The development of world-class research provides Australia with recognition as a world leader in the field and broadens the knowledge based of Australian scientist and engineers.
