Description

Macromolecular design of sustainable polymeric materials. This project aims to investigate microorganism-derived polymers as source for innovative biodegradable polymers and nanoparticles. This project expects to develop novel functional and high-value added materials that are suitable for a wide variety of applications, such as drug delivery and in packaging. Expected outcomes from this project include new insights into their potential for diverse nanoparticle and drug formulations, and new strategies to transform sustainable polymers into new materials after their usage. This project should provide significant benefits, including new sustainable materials that can form the basis for new start-ups and long-term contribute to lowering landfill growth and microplastic pollution.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3403 - Macromolecular and Materials Chemistry. Lead: A/Prof Kristian Kempe
