Research Cluster
We apply polymer innovation to healthcare applications such as hemodialysis development, wound dressings, and implants. We use locally sourced, high-performance biopolymers to improve efficiency.
Research Focus
Hydrogel
Development of hydrogels for wound dressing, tissue engineering, and anti-adhesion applications. These hydrogels offer biocompatibility and tailored performance for healthcare uses.
Filter Hemodialyzer
Design and fabrication of polymer-based hemodialysis filters with high selectivity and mechanical stability. These filters ensure effective blood purification and patient safety.
Bio Resorbable Implant
Creating implants that safely degrade in the body over time, minimizing the need for removal surgeries. These materials support regenerative healing and long-term patient outcomes.
