Purpose
Smart materials that can reversibly respond to changes in their environment have significant potential for developing a range of new, responsive technologies and devices across multiple fields. However, the effective and safe activation of these smart responses in many targeted applications (particularly in vivo in which subtle changes in the environment can lead to significant local toxicity) remains a barrier to translation. As such, the objective of the proposed Discovery research is to leverage our expertise in designing smart polymers on multiple length scales to develop new materials and devices that can be externally activated via a non-invasive stimulus (oscillating magnetic fields or ultrasound), enabling dynamic control over diffusion through and/or surface interactions with smart materials. Research will focus on three themes, centred around applying fundamentals of polymer, material, and interfacial engineering to design smart materials with targeted application properties:
