Chemistry of Macromolecules

Research Activity

​

• Development of polymers that have potential application in the field of drug delivery with anti tumor prodrugs and link to the nanoparticles so the drug-carrier's path can be influenced by external stimuli like magnetic force facilitating targeted delivery.

• Use of controlled/living polymerization techniques such as ROMP and/or ATRP to synthesize random and block copolymers where the composition of the copolymer length that contain drugs can be controlled.

• Development of polymers that are used to sense heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury is currently under progress.

• Design and synthesis of macro-molecular architectures via controlled/living radical polymerization techniques

• Water soluble "smart" responsive polymers for drug delivery applications

• Polymer-drug/bio-active molecule conjugate and their biological evaluations

• Synthesis and characterization of polymeric-inorganic hybrid materials and nanomaterials.

• Oxidative polymerization: Polymerization of vinyl monomers under high pressure of oxygen..
