Abstract

This thesis does not contain any materials from papers published in peer-reviewed journals or from papers accepted at conferences in which I am listed as an author.The contributions from my supervisor and collaborators are as follows:• Prof. Lee Pooi See provided the initial project direction and edited the manuscript drafts.• I prepared the manuscript drafts. The manuscript was revised by Prof. Lee Pooi See until the final version.• I have designed and performed most of the experiments in this thesis.• Dr. Gao Dace provided guidance and documents in EIS measurements and Keithley Sourcemeter.• Mr. Chen Juntong offered help in conducting scanning electron microscopy and provided PTFE mold at initial stage of experiment.• Mr. Poh Wei Church and Dr. Chen Shaohua provided guidance and suggestions upon CV operation and analysis.• Mr. Jiang Feng provided help in fabricating and testing triboelectric nanogenerators.• Mrs. Zhou Xinran offered training and suggestions upon 3D printing.• Dr. Chen Jian provided suggestions and help in constructing logic gates.

Silk Protein-Based Nanoporous Microsphere for Controllable Drug Delivery through Self-Assembly in Ionic Liquid System

“…24 Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as a significant player in the fields of energy and biological materials due to their unique properties, including negligible vapor pressure, wide liquid temperature range, excellent conductivity and stability, as well as the added benefits of recyclability and reusability. 46 Besides, ILs have the potential to enhance both physical and chemical properties of carbon materials, rendering them as optimal precursors for codoping. 47 Due to the designability and high solubility of ILs, an SF electrospinning felt was successfully fabricated by dissolving SF in the IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (BMIMAc), which can be utilized for skin tissue engineering.…”
