This
project is focused on the development of nanostructured coatings for targeted
drug administration. The progress of processing and characterization of
biopolymers have led to the ability to control the shape, chemical composition,
internal structure, and morphology of the nanostructures so as to develop new
levels of product performance and application. This project initiates a
partnership between 3 national institutes R&D and 2 universities with
strong expertise both in producing and characterization of nanostructures by
chemical-physical methods, microstructural characterization and evaluation of
biofunctional performances by in vitro
tests. The main result of this project consists of obtaining of nanostructured
porous biopolymers with controlled resorbability, emphasizing on preparation of
adherent structures covering drug agents. Another key objective is the
development of functionalized adherent biodegradable and biocompatible
biopolymeric coatings by Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE)
technique using the common previous experience of all partners involved in this
consortium. The expected results will allow for this consortium to be rapidly
implied in the development of new levels
of product performances and applications for the farmaceutical industry and so
nanosciences and nanotechnologies fields of the 7TH Programme of the
European Union. |
