Engineering nanoparticles with enhanced adhesion at the nano-bio interfaces (2021-2024)
Abstract
This project aims to develop a next-generation adhesive nanoparticle platform through in-depth understandings of nanoparticle interactions with bio-interfaces. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the multidisciplinary research field at nano-bio-interfaces by using a recently developed nano-colloidal probe technology, instructing the rational design of nanoparticles with enhanced interface adhesive properties. Expected outcomes include a family of adhesive nanoparticles designed for nanopesticide and animal feed applications, with the potential to deliver valuable intellectual property of commercial interest and economic benefit through technology advancement.
