Annotation
Thesis proposal is focused development of new polymerization processes and advanced polymeric materials for biomedical and catalytic applications. One of the main goals is synthesis of functional polymers through direct Mannich, Passerini, and/or Ugi based multicomponent polymerizations (MCPs), which have recently achieved great attention in organic synthesis, polymer synthesis, drug discovery, natural product synthesis, and combinatorial chemistry. Special attention will be paid to synthesis of functional polymers with controlled and well-defined architectures, controlled molecular weight distributions, and narrow polydispersity. Research should contribute to development of amphiphilic polymers for self-assembly behavior, thermoresponsive, and Aggregation-induced-emission (AIE-active) materials for bioimaging, drug delivery, and catalyst applications.
