Preparations, Properties, and Applications of New Hydrogels

该项目旨在开发一种新的聚合物基质系统，用于改善生物分离，如纤维蛋白原，DNA和RNA。这些新的水凝胶和膜不仅能够分离生物大分子，这在现有系统中是不可能的，而且还将开发用于电泳的新的尺寸排阻型分离系统。该项目的成功将对生物技术产业产生重大影响。特别是，它将提供有效的方法来破碎一些重要的血液制品，并加强澳大利亚在这一领域的领先地位。

This project aims to develop a new polymeric matrix system for improved biological separations such as fibrinogen, DNA and RNA. These new hydrogels and membranes will not only be capable of separating biomacromolecules, not possible within the existing systems, but will also develop a new size exclusion type separation system for electrophoresis. The success of the project will have a significant impact in the biotechnology industry. Particularly, it will provide efficient methodologies to fractionate a number of important blood products and strengthen Australian's leading role in this field.
