Design and development of new natural and synthetic polymers chemically modified with ionic and / or hydrophobic groups for biomedical and biotechnological applications
Synthetic and natural polymers chemically modified, with complex architectures, for the controlled release of medicines, for the "targeted" delivery of medicines, as biomimetic supports for the engineering (regeneration) of different tissues (bone, muscle, epithelial, etc) or for others biomedical and biotechnological applications (flocculations, purifications, enzyme immobilization, etc).
Self-regulated drug delivery systems based on polymers sensitive to external stimuli able to release the drug when normal physiological conditions are disturbed. Synthesis of polymeric micro- and nano-particles in suspension or in colloidal solutions.
Use of polysaccharide derivatives hydrogels for the removal of metal ions and organic dyes from wastewater.
