[5p-A203-10] Smart Polymer Technologies for Biomedical Applications
Keywords:smart polymers, shape-memory polymers, DDS
Our research group is interested in developing ‘smart’ biotechnologies using stimuli-responsive polymers that respond to small changes in external stimuli with large discontinuous changes in their physical properties. These ‘smart’ biomaterials are designed to act as an “on-off” switch for drug delivery technologies, gene therapy, affinity separations, chromatography, diagnostics etc.
