This project will break new ground in light-induced step-growth precipitation polymerisation techniques for polymer particle formation that do not require any initiator, surfactants, additives or heating, thus constituting an environmentally friendly process. The project will establish the underpinning photochemical particle formation processes and establish a broad monomer base for the production of particles with a wide property profile, including particles with tailored surface properties and the ability to degrade upon a defined trigger signal. Scaling the particles' synthesis, including using Australian sunlight, will enable multi-gram production allowing real-world applications.

该项目将在光诱导逐步生长沉淀聚合技术中开辟新的领域，用于形成聚合物颗粒，不需要任何引发剂、表面活性剂、添加剂或加热，从而构成一个环境友好的过程。该项目将建立基础光化学颗粒形成过程，并建立广泛的单体基础，用于生产具有广泛特性的颗粒，包括具有定制表面特性和根据定义的触发信号降解的能力的颗粒。扩大颗粒的合成规模，包括使用澳大利亚阳光，将能够实现多克生产，从而实现实际应用。
