This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Alix Deymier, Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Project Description: This summer project focuses on understanding the role of hydrogen phosphate and carbonate in bone-like mineral and how it can be used as a buffer for the acid in degradable polymers. That's a mouthful! Essentially you will be making mineral nanocrystals with a varying compositions and then measuring their composition, enthalpy of dissolution, and pKa. In the day to day you will be doing hands on chemistry, using a calorimeter, and possibly X-ray techniques like XRD and XRF depending on timing.
