Description

The idea behind the project is that biopolymers can be used in the future as lids on microscopic medicine boxes. The biopolymer is environmentally friendly, as it degrades naturally in the environments in the human body. If the biopolymer is used for medicine boxes, various medicines could be given in smaller doses, making it cheaper and reducing the risk of potentially secondary effects. In the project it will be investigated whether it is possible to measure the degradation of biopolymer, using cantilevers on chips with a microscopic scale.
