Research Interest
Biodegradable Implants: The main effort is directed by the NRF CRP grant awarded to Prof Boey on "Fully Biodegradable Cardiovascular Implant". The research work involve cellular - biomaterials interface and interaction, synthesis of elastomeric biodegradable polymers and drug / peptide eluting implants for stents and "hole in the heart" PFO plugs. Another major effort, collaborating with the Singapore Eye Research Institute, involves development of drug eluting microspheres and film inserts for retina infections and macula degeration glaucoma. Electroactive Materials: The research work involve development of PZT pumps and frictionless micro-pumps as micropumps for cooling / heat exchange, and diabetes / pain management drug release etc. A start-up company has been formed to exploit this technology commercially. Nanomaterials for Detection, Identification and Remediation: The research work involve developing functionalized nanoparticles for toxins, disease causing biological agents and forensic applications, anisotropic nanoparticles for color enhancement and light harvesting.
