Description

Organosulfur surfactants as novel antioxidants. This projects aims to investigate new organosulfur-based surfactants for application in formulation science. The project expects to develop new surfactants and block copolymers that can attenuate oxidative stress, offsetting unwanted side effects or enhancing the function of pharmaceutical or agricultural formulations. Expected outcomes from the project include improved nanoparticle-based formulations incorporating the new organosulfur surfactants which are less harmful than previous formulations, and which can therefore be applied in diverse applications. This should provide significant benefits, such as agricultural formulations that improve crop yield or pharmaceutical and veterinary products that reduce side effects to the recipient.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3406 - Physical Chemistry. Lead: A/Prof John Quinn
