Project title: New approaches in designing polymer surfaces with controllable pattern for applications in biomedicine and high technologies
General objective of the project
The project's main objective is to investigate polymer surfaces with controllable structuration by classical techniques and new methods proposed in the project. Texturizing methods will lead to materials with advanced morphological properties, as required technologies and applications in tissue engineering.
