Smart materials that can reversibly change their properties in response to changes in their environment (e.g. temperature, pH, chemical concentrations, magnetic fields, or light) offer significant potential in biomedical applications, with particular promise in enabling the development of drug delivery vehicles with improved targeted and/or time-dependent drug dosing and tissue engineering scaffolds with well-controlled cell-scaffold interactions.Research in the Hoare lab is focused on coupling engineering approaches (including high-throughput screening and statistical analysis) with advanced physical characterization of smart materials to identify optimized smart material chemistries and structures with customized and/or novel properties for targeted applications.

智能材料可以根据环境（例如温度、pH、化学浓度、磁场或光）的变化而可逆地改变其特性，在生物医学应用中具有巨大的潜力，尤其有望开发出具有改进性能的药物输送载体。具有良好控制的细胞支架相互作用的靶向和/或时间依赖性药物剂量和组织工程支架。霍尔实验室的研究重点是将工程方法（包括高通量筛选和统计分析）与智能材料的先进物理表征相结合到为目标应用确定具有定制和/或新颖特性的优化智能材料化学和结构。
