| Topic | Sensitive polymers and nanoparticles for biological applications |
| Annotation | The project focuses on preparation, physico-chemical design and adjustment of new polymers, micelles and nanoparticles reacting to changes of external conditions such as temperature, pH, ionic strength with the aim of constructing systems applicable e.g. in targeted delivery of drugs. One example of polymers that are very promising in this direction yet not much investigated are polyoxazolines that have a molecular structure similar to polypeptides. Polymers and nanoparticles bearing weak radioactive atoms will be prepared that are intended for biodiagnostic and radiotherapeutic applications. |
