Накратко на български

Фотоактивните полимерни колоиди се изследват за създаване на самопочистващи се покрития, които унищожават микроби. Те помагат за пречистването на отпадни води и подобряват дезинфекцията в здравеопазването, за да се намали разпространението на антимикробната резистентност.

Advanced functional polymer colloids with high photo-oxidative properties

In recent decades, EU has focused on reducing waste and energy consumption while promoting eco-friendly processes to create advanced materials. APOCOLIPS contributes to these efforts through combining research and engineering to develop environmentally friendly photoactive polymer colloids with advanced properties in safe solvents, which aligns with green chemistry principles. Likewise, there is a growing societal need to reduce bacterial and microbial contamination in healthcare and food packaging sectors due to the growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threat. Given the current state of AMR and the EU's objective to address this challenge, this project aims to reduce numerous sources of AMR in healthcare environments. APOCOLIPS is crucial for society because it develops new polymer colloids with high photo-oxidative properties. These colloids can be used for effective wastewater treatment and offers better separation and recycling of photocatalysts. Secondly, the photo-oxidative properties of these polymer colloids can be applied in the field of healthcare. They have the potential to enhance disinfection processes, aiding in the elimination of harmful pathogens. Furthermore, these advanced polymer colloids can find applications in areas such as catalysis, photochemical production of derivatives and sensors. APOCOLIPS aims to integrate advanced polymer chemistry strategies to develop innovative photoactive polymer colloids for two primary applications: 1) Development of effective polymer coatings with self-disinfecting and antimicrobial resistance properties: Inorganic materials have been used as substrates for incorporating organic photosensitizers (PSens), however, there is a growing interest in using polymers due to their versatility. The innovation of this research aim is to develop polymer coatings by integrating organic PSens through a safe and straightforward covalent bonding process. 2) Design of stable colloidal dispersions as substrate of photosensitizer that enables the photo-oxygenation of organic molecules for fine chemicals production industry. One of the challenges of this industry is to implement efficient and safe industrial processes. In this context, continuous-flow technologies have recently emerged as alternatives to batch processing. The innovation of APOCOLIPS for this second application involves combining the favorable aspects of flow photochemistry with the benefits of supported photosensitizers (PSens) to create novel stable submicronic photo-active polymer colloids.

Цел на проекта

APOCOLIPS aims to develop advanced functional polymer colloids with high photo-oxidative properties. Two promising applications have been envisaged for these materials: 1) to develop efficient self-disinfecting and antimicrobial resistant polymer films and 2) to design stable colloidal dispersions for photo-oxygenation of organic molecules for fine chemicals production. One of the most innovative aspects of the proposed research is that it targets the preparation of advanced polymer coatings integrating organic photosensitizer (PS) via covalent bonding by implementing a straightforward, industrially viable and safe process. Another innovation of APOCOLIPS is to combine the key advantages of flow photochemistry with the ones of supported PS to develop stable submicronic photo-active polymer colloids which can be easily transported by the continuous phase in the microfluidic devices, while being recycling. The final goal of the two-year fellowship is to advance and diversify the competences of Dr. Aboudzadeh both as a researcher and as a future leader in the field of polymer materials for a sustainable world. APOCOLIPS is highly multidisciplinary combining polymer chemistry, polymer physics, photochemistry, microbiology, chemical engineering and green chemistry.The fellowship will bring together the knowledge of Dr. Aboudzadeh, who recently obtained his PhD degree in polymer materials from Spain, with those of Dr. Save (project supervisor) in polymer chemistry and the skills of Dr. Lacombe in photochemistry. Moreover, the project benefits from a national collaboration with Dr. Loubière from LGC (Toulouse) with strong experiences in continuous flow photochemistry. The host centre is CNRS that boasts outstanding facilities and excellent contacts with industry. Finally APOCOLIPS brings about the fellow a three-month international and interdiciplinary secondment (Ulster University, UK) under supervision of Prof. Fernandez-Ibañez, an expert in disinfection technologies.
