Offer Description

The project focuses on the development of advanced polymeric materials containing phenylboronic acids and boron clusters for biomedical applications. The work will involve the synthesis of well-defined block and branched polymers using controlled polymerization techniques such as RAFT, ATRP, ROP, or ROMP. These polymers will be designed to enable the formation of nanostructures through self-assembly driven by their physicochemical properties. The resulting nanostructures will be characterized and studied using scattering methods, electron microscopy, spectroscopic, and calorimetric techniques. A key aspect of the project will be investigating the interactions of these polymers with biologically relevant molecules, such as sugars and diols, to explore their potential for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The synthesized polymers will be analyzed using standard analytical methods, including SEC, NMR, and MALDI-TOF. This interdisciplinary project bridges polymer chemistry and biomedicine, with a focus on designing innovative materials with high functionality and application potential.
