1. Silicon based bioactive materials:
a) Silanols as novel antimicrobial materials;
b) Novel approaches to facilitating various drugs to
penetrate the blood-brain barrier.
2. Silicon based
materials, especially silsesquioxane and related inorganic/organic
hydride materials and silicon-containing ceramics‚ and
their polymeric precursors including sol-gel precursors and
preceramic polymers. Current projects include:
