Structure-performance
relationships of acrylic
emulsion based surface coatings
My project will systematically investigate the structure-performance
relationships of acrylic emulsion based surface coatings
and provide a detailed understanding of their degradation
mechanisms. The improved understanding of these coatings
will lead to the development of an optimum coating for steel
roofs with extremely high durability and resistance against
degradation and gloss loss in typical tropical and sub-tropical
Australian climates.

Kinetic
and Quantum Chemical Studies of Living Free-Radical Polymerisation
The proposed project is concerned with gaining a deeper
kinetic understanding of living free radical polymerisations,
specifically reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer
(RAFT) polymerisations and also a new technique known as
controlled radical addition polymerisations.
The formation of complex polymeric architectures (such as
star polymers) via the RAFT process will be studied using
kinetic modelling. The investigations into controlled radical
addition polymerisation will make use of quantum chemistry.
In addition, the study of each technique will have an experimental
part.
Living free radical polymerisation has revolutionised the
field of polymer chemistry. It gives the chemist much better
control over molecular architecture compared with traditional
radical polymerisation. The technique has been used to produce
many cutting edge materials that have applications in areas
such as biomedical materials, drug delivery and other high
technology applications.

Acid-Degradable Nanoparticles for Intracellular Drug Delivery
This project aims to develop acid-degradable polymeric nanoparticles
as an intracellular drug delivery system. Both hydrophobic
and hydrophilic polymeric carrier systems in nanometer sizes
will be designed and the loading with drugs, such as hydrophobic
anticancer drugs and hydrophilic biotherapeutics, will be
investigated. The effectiveness of intracellular delivery
will be tested in vitro to demonstrate the potential utility
of the acid-degradable nanoparticles as a delivery system.
