Hierarchical assembly of graphene oxide nanoparticles as bionanointerface

该项目旨在开发一种最先进的制造方法，以开发大面积聚合物/石墨烯混合纳米颗粒图案，通过外源性电刺激精确调节细胞引导和再生。聚合物和石墨烯已经成为开发软生物相容性平台的主要竞争者。然而，它们的适用性受到限制，由于在生理条件下的图案化和随之而来的整合的困难。该项目将推进纳米技术和细胞生物学前沿的基础和实践知识，同时为科学前沿的研究界提供培训。该项目还将提供知识产权，这将使澳大利亚处于生物纳米技术的最前沿。

This project aims to develop a state-of-the-art fabrication methodology to develop large area polymer/graphene hybrid nanoparticle patterns to precisely modulate cell guidance and regeneration by exogenous electrical stimulation. Polymers and graphene have emerged as the main contenders for the development of soft biocompatible platforms. However, their applicability has been limited due to difficulties in patterning and their consequent integration under physiological conditions. This project will advance both fundamental and practical knowledge at the forefront of nanotechnology and cell biology, whilst providing training to the research community at the cutting edge of science. The project will also deliver intellectual property, which will position Australia at the forefront of bionanotechnology.
