Anotace:
Biodegradovatelné a biokompatibilní polymery se používají v lékařských aplikacích jakožto nosiče léků. Znalost morfologie kompozitů složených z polymeru a léčiva je kritická při navrhování takového systému. Tento výzkum se soustředí na vztah morfologie a vlastností směsí obsahujících alespoň jeden biodegradovatelný polymer.
Annotation:
Biodegradable and biocompatible polymers are used in medical applications as drug delivering carriers. Knowledge of morphology of a polymer/drug composite is critical in design of such system. This work will focus on morphology vs. properties relations in blends containing at least one biodegradable polymer.
Požadavky na studenta:
Znalost makromolekulární chemie a angličtiny na střední úrovni.
Requirements:
Knowledge of macromolecular chemistry and English at intermediate level.
