Mechanically Interlocked Actuating Conjugated Polymers
Category
FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
MIA-CP (234860)
Area
Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials & new production technologies
Description
This proposal details the preparation of novel electromechanical polymers based on mechanically interlocked molecules. These synthetic muscle-like fibres would function via entirely new mechanisms of actuation and have potential applications in the medical, engineering and nanotechnology sectors.
Participating Countries
United Kingdom and United States.
