Engineering Stealth Polymers for Improved Safety and Bioapplications (2027-2030)
Abstract
Stealth polymers are vital for controlling material-bio interactions in advanced technologies such as nanoparticle delivery systems. However, current stealth polymers can trigger unwanted immune responses, limiting their safety, reliability and performance. This project aims to apply innovative polymer chemistry to engineer next-generation stealth polymers with improved molecular design and immunological properties. The expected outcomes include advanced stealth polymers that extend the frontiers of polymer science and nanoparticle delivery systems. This should deliver significant benefits by advancing bio-related technologies and enabling applications in nanoparticle delivery, biosensing, and advanced surface coatings.
