Research summary
AI-generated

Péter Polyák works on biodegradable and bio-based polymers, including microbial polyesters like poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), poly(lactic acid), and natural rubber, studying how their structure relates to mechanical, chemical, and degradation properties. Much of the research involves developing methods to control or monitor polymer breakdown and drug release, useful for applications like medical scaffolds, surgical meshes, and drug delivery systems. The work combines polymer synthesis, characterization techniques (spectroscopy, chromatography), and some computational/AI-based analysis tools.
