Abstract:

Polymers have infiltrated almost every field of modern technology. The study of the thermal conductivity of polymeric materials is a very important issue nowadays, in order to meet the criteria for application in electronic industries. The main objective of this project is an extensive study of the influence of synthesis parameters of neoteric polymers on the thermal conductivity. The project is focused on the complex field of Synthetic Chemistry and Materials: Materials synthesis, structure-properties relations, functional and advanced materials. Through this project we will try to influence the thermal conductivity of “green” polymers developed by the project leader in the previous young research team project, namely: poly(benzofuran-co-arylacetic acid), polytartaric acid and poly(tartronic-co-glycolic acid), by different chemical modification as tuned synthesis, crosslinking reactions, copolymerization reactions and polymer composites formation by embedding inorganic particles in the polymer network or in the crosslinked polymer network. Such polymer materials are interesting from two points of view: fundamental contribution to the understanding of the physical processes and phenomena associated with these new hybrid polymeric materials, specific intermolecular interactions, interface effects, phase transitions on the one hand and possible application in technology on the other hand.

Abstract:

The ONCORAD project and the associated technological platform in Radiobiology, is built on the concepts of translational medicine and has as main objective the development of innovative targeted radiopharmaceuticals and nuclear medicine techniques for diagnostic imaging and improved radiotherapy in cancer. ONCORAD is based on the unique expertise of the coordinator (IFIN Horia Hulubei, Magurele) ) in the field of radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals, complemented by the exquisite know how of partner institutions in the field of biomedical research (INCD Victor Babes, Cantacuzino National Research Institute and Biochemistry Institute, Bucharest) and clinics (Fundeni Clinical Institute and Colentina Clinical Hospital, Bucharest), along with the expertise of INCD for Isotopic and molecular Techniques, Cluj-Napoca in nanotechnologies/nanomedicine. The multidisciplinary effort is focused in 4 interconnected research projects in the field of oncology and nuclear medicine. Additionally, the ONCORAD project will sustain the development of the partner institutions by supporting new jobs for young researchers and their extensive training, infrastructure development, and transfer of knowhow, technologies and good laboratory practices among partners and towards interested third parties. ONCORAD will build an organizational structure for enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of radiobiology, in the benefit of research, patients and oncologists. The project is a premise for future participation of the consortium in large-scale projects and in European networks/platforms in the field of nuclear medicine and nanomedicine, enlarge the research services and technological transfer for clinical applications.

Abstract:

The project will develop novel conceptual and functional solutions of biomedical devices for treatment, reinforcement/repair/replacement (of human tissues) and diagnosis based on nanostructured and/or biocompatible materials, with high attractivity and certain potential for technology transfer to industry. The experience of the interdisciplinary consortium will allow a passage from concepts of nanomaterials and biomaterials with extended and/or complementary functional features to implementation to new biomedical applications of great interest: (i) antitumoral therapeutic systems (by localized magnetic hyperthermia, photodynamic therapy and drug delivery); (ii) biocompatible compounds with enhanced antimicrobial efficacy; (iii) stent or vein/arterial filters implants based on ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys (with the advantage of repositioning without the need of new invasive interventions); (iv) personalized bone regenerative implants (i.e. porous ceramic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering; dental implants with rapid osseointegration); (v) (bio)sensors for monitoring the bioavailability of pharmaceutical compounds and detecting the reactive oxygen species and their biologic effect; and (vi) correlation of physico-chemical properties with clinical investigations for two types of aerosols (salt particles and essential oils), and their prospective coupling with possible synergistic effects. The synergic development of the institutional capacity of the project partners will be achieved by: creating new jobs and purchasing new equipment and software, providing technical/scientific assistance to the emerging institutions, initiating and fostering collaborations with partners from industry in view of technology transfer, and increasing the international visibility of the involved institutions by capitalizing on the obtained research results. The project will create the core of the first national cluster in the field of healthcare technologies.

Abstract:

The main goal of the project is to develop new hybrid materials based on polyesters of α-hydroxy carboxylic acids (PAHCA) functionalized with molecules having different application in magnetic separation, biomedicine and chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The project focused on a complex research field, polymers, nanosciences and nanotechnologies, situated in the actual orientation for the development of functional hybrid nanostructured materials. Polyesters of α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, such as polylactic acid or polyglycolic acid have found widespread application in materials field, medicine and nanotechnology, but have also several limitations due to lack of reactive groups for linkage, and because of their easiness of biodegradation in environment and in biological medium. The project aims to overcome these obstacles and extends potential application of these polymers by preparing new functionalized PAHCA by polymerization reaction of new functionalized lactides synthesized in the project. The resulting composite materials attract fundamental interest by contributing to the understanding of physical processes and phenomena associated with nanostructures, intermolecular specific interactions, interface effects, phase transitions and applicative interest for medicine and nanotechnology.
