Development of a predictive model for hydrogel formation via a combination of synthesis and computational chemistry KU Leuven
Hydrogels are important materials with applications among others in tissue engineering. The goal of this project is to optimize a class of urea based hydrogelators previously developed in the host group via a combination of organic synthesis and computational analysis. Using organic synthetic methods, a diverse set of analogues of the urea based gelators will be produced. These compounds will serve as the structuring elements to form ...
