The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $555,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Notre Dame. The grant supports Professor Bradley Smith's research to develop a new approach for the controlled release of valuable molecular payloads from hydrogels, which are soft biocompatible materials that hold large amounts of water. The fundamental chemistry research aims to gain a deeper understanding of multivalent binding versus monovalent binding, with the goal of creating a generalizable controlled-release platform. This platform would enable repeated loading and release of payloads such as pharmaceuticals, cell growth factors, and industrial chemicals and fuels. The 3-year project also includes updating a free online workbook on organic structure elucidation that is used worldwide, particularly in under-resourced educational environments. The research will be conducted by a diverse team of graduate and undergraduate students.
