Abstract of Timeas Project

 

This project focuses on target-oriented synthesis of biomacromolecule surrogates. Through a molecular engineering approach using polymer topological design and modular runing of graft-copolymer structure, the project aims to mimick physical properties of structural proteins, as well as investigating the relationship between macromolecular structure and macroscopic functions of bulk materials.
