Abstract:

The main goal of the project is to develop new hybrid materials based on polyesters of α-hydroxy carboxylic acids (PAHCA) functionalized with molecules having different application in magnetic separation, biomedicine and chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The project focused on a complex research field, polymers, nanosciences and nanotechnologies, situated in the actual orientation for the development of functional hybrid nanostructured materials. Polyesters of α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, such as polylactic acid or polyglycolic acid have found widespread application in materials field, medicine and nanotechnology, but have also several limitations due to lack of reactive groups for linkage, and because of their easiness of biodegradation in environment and in biological medium. The project aims to overcome these obstacles and extends potential application of these polymers by preparing new functionalized PAHCA by polymerization reaction of new functionalized lactides synthesized in the project. The resulting composite materials attract fundamental interest by contributing to the understanding of physical processes and phenomena associated with nanostructures, intermolecular specific interactions, interface effects, phase transitions and applicative interest for medicine and nanotechnology.
