Description:

The main aim of the PhD thesis is to design and develop intelligent three-dimensional (3D) printed block copolymer hydrogel-based biocomposites as a specific scaffold for nanosized phosphates doped with metal ions (e.g., lithium(I) ions) dispersed within them.
The obtained biocomposites will be used in further stages of the project to evaluate regenerative and proliferative properties for nerve cells, such as olfactory cells. In addition, the work will reconstruct the damaged neuronal pathway. The work will focus on obtaining nanosized phosphates doped with various ions, e.g., lithium(I), dispersing them in a block copolymer hydrogel carrier, and evaluating their effects on olfactory cells to stimulate limited nerve regenerative properties and neuronal growth, thereby restoring the sense of smell.
