Precision-built dynamic and functional polymer vesicles

该项目旨在创造新的精确构建的聚合物囊泡，具有可控的大小，稳定性，功能性和环境响应性，以模仿细胞的一些关键动态功能。该项目预计将产生关于聚合物及其双层之间动态相互作用的新知识，包括按需活化聚合和反应，逻辑门和原位传感器。该项目的预期成果包括新的合成聚合物技术和对化学反应和聚合的区室化作用的新的定量见解。该项目将提供生物/聚合物囊泡的基础知识，具有巨大的潜力，以推动澳大利亚的聚合物工业。

The project aims to create new precision-built polymer vesicles with controlled size, stability, functionality and environmental responsiveness to mimic some of the key dynamic functions of the cell. The project expects to generate new knowledge on the dynamic interplay between the polymer and its bilayer including on-demand activated polymerisations and reactions, logic gates and in situ sensors. Expected outcomes of this project include new synthetic polymer techniques and new quantitative insights into the role of compartmentalisation on chemical reactions and polymerisations. This project will provide fundamental knowledge on bio/polymer vesicles with great potential to advance the polymer industry in Australia.
