Functional Surfaces Functional
composite coatings consisting of nano- and micro- filler particles are
suitable candidates to meet the property and performance requirements
in applications ranging from aerospace to biomedical implants. We
design and synthesis functional composite surfaces with specific
surface properties and functionalities like anti-icing, anti-corossive
and anti-microbial surfaces. The functionality is based upon the
release of active agents from the functional composite surfaces.
Functional surfaces are synthesized by using spin coating, dip coating,
drop casting and layer-by-layer deposition techniques.
Self-Organization of Polymers Stimuli-responsive
polymeric materials are capable of changing their physical behaviour
with an external stimuli in the environment. The undersatnding and
tailoring the properties of self-assembled strcutures built by
stimuli-responsive polymers are improtant in biomedical applications.
We investiagte the formation and controlled release applications of
hydrogen-bonded self-ssembled structures of thermoresponive polymer and
pH resposive molecules.
Drug Solubilization Drugs with low
aqueous solubility and good permeability have dissolution-related
bioavailability problems. The preparation of solid dispersion is one of
the prominent methods to enhance solubility, dissolution rate and thus,
bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs.
