| Focal points and main thrusts of research: | development of smart and nanostructured systems for controlled drug delivery |
| Introduction: | The scientific work carried out by the Soft Matter Team is quite diverse. Among others it focuses on the characterization of soft materials and on their possible applications. The group has considerable experience in the development of smart and nanostructured systems for controlled drug delivery, especially biocompatible polymer gels responding to environmental stimuli (temperature, pH, redox potential, light, magnetic field, etc.). Targeted drug delivery devices like implants, transdermally and orally administered drug delivery systems, nanomedicines are also in the focus of its research topics. The group has large experience in determination of thermal, mechanical and rheological properties of polymers and other colloid systems. |
