Laboratory 4: Laboratory of Functional Polymers. 

General topic: Synthetic and natural ionic polymers

• Ionic matrices with morphologies and external stimuli responsiveness triggered by the synthesis conditions to adsorb and release in a controlled manner bioactive ionic species such as: enzymes, proteins, drugs, cells, etc.
• Macroporous composite interpenetrating polymer networks based on polysaccharides or their derivatives
• Cross-linked microparticle systems based on synthetic and natural polymers; kinetic studies of loading and release
• Ion exchangers with complexing properties
• Nanostructured composites based on calcium carbonate and linear and / or cross-linked ionic polymers
