Preliminary scope of work
Cílem projektu je syntéza definovaných amfifilních blokových kopolymerů s navázanými sloučeninami bóru pomocí živých a řízených polymerací (RAFT, ATRP, ROP, ROMP, atd.) Výsledné systémy budou mít požadovanou funkci (citlivost na pH, teploty a koncentraci peroxidu vodíku a diolů). Architektura blokových kopolymerů bude ověřena pomocí metod SEC, NMR, MALDI TOF MS, apod. Výsledné nanostruktury budou charakterizovány kombinací rozptylových, mikroskopických, spektroskopických a kalorimetrických technik. U metalakarboranových systémů bude testována jejich antimikrobiální aktivita.
Preliminary scope of work in English
Aim of the project is to synthetize well-defined amphiphilic boron containing block copolymers with desired function (pH, hydrogen peroxide, temperature, diols responsive) via living/control polymerization techniques (RAFT, ATRP, ROP, ROMP, etc.). The architecture of block copolymers will be controled by standard techniques of SEC, NMR, MALDi TOF, etc. The amphiphilic block copolymers will be used for preparation of self-assembled nanostructures in solution. The nanostructures will be characterized by a combination of scattering, microscopic, spectroscopic and calorimetric techniques. Interaction of block copolymers micelles with membrane models (phospholipid vesicles/liposomes) will be investigated by ITC, DSC and/or fluorescence spectroscopy to fully understand the potential of amphiphilic metallacarborane-containing copolymers as antibacterial agents.
