Project Number: SKN/SP/496557/2021
Project implemented as part of the "Student science clubs create innovation" financed by the Ministry of Science and Education
Title of the project: SI-ATRP in the synthesis of functional polymer brushes grafted from flat surfaces
Principal Investigator: Prof. Paweł Chmielarz, Eng, PhD, DSc, ProfTit
Project Value: 67 135,00 PLN
Financing with resources of Ministry of Science and Education, Poland
Aim of the Project:
The main aim of the project is the synthesis of new, functional polymer materials via surface-initiated radical atomic polymerization (SI-ATRP) methods. The innovative nature of the project assumes the synthesis and characterization of macromolecular compounds and polymer brushes with extensive architecture as well as the optimization of ATRP techniques based on the 12 principles of green chemistry. Due to the wide interest and the number of members of the Student and Doctoral Scientific Society of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering "IPSUM", the project has been divided into 3 parts and includes activities focused on obtaining hybrid materials with potential application in microelectronics (modification of silicon nanoparticles) or implantology (modification of polyetheretherketone) and for biomedical applications, including as carriers of active substances (lignin modification).
