Offer Description

The objective of this project is to develop a novel polycondensation-induced self-assembly technique. This unprecedented method will enable the production of well-defined degradable amphiphilic polymer with high yield and low dispersion, thereby generating nanoparticles with different morphologies at high concentrations. These self-organized copolymers have great potential in the biomedical field.

-Designing the PISA method
-Synthesis of amphiphilic polymers
-Characterization of polymers and nanoparticles
-Optimization of reaction conditions
-Documentation and publication
-Interdisciplinary collaboration
-Scientific monitoring
