Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The development of new collaborations for the future of science is essential. This proposed visit to a centre of excellence in India, will help identifying mutual interest and provide an opportunity for future collaborations. The Centre for Biomedical Engineering and the Polymer Science Centre have expertise in polymer and advanced facilities for polymer processing and polymer characterization. The P1 has experience in developing polymer composites for various medical and dental applications. Biomaterials and tissue engineering are two rapidly growing areas that has benefited healthcare, however it is essential for concepts to find their way to patient care. The main areas for potential collaboration will be the development of biodegradable polymer composites as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and articular cartilage repair materials for bone and joint replacement materials. The other aspect will relate to the design of haemocompatible biomedical materials for cardiovascular applications.
