This review focuses on our novel approaches for developing functional polymers by dissociation phenomena of macromolecular complexes. One is highly swellable polymer gels, superabsorbent polymers ...

More recent findings in a collaboration with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have demonstrated the capability of their self-driving laboratory to create highly functional polymer building blocks ...

We have had some non-trivial results for biodegradable polymers," adds team leader, Professor Ivan Stoikov. In the course of the study, new functional star-shaped polymers of lactic acid were ...

has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Functional Polymers by Post-Polymerization Modification" to their offering. The first comprehensive handbook on this emerging hot ...

Our research program in LC-based, nanostructured polymers is divided into three main areas. The first area is the development of polymerizable lyotropic LCs for the construction of functional, ...

Synthesis of self-healing polymers through physical methods ... the Li dissolution-deposition process have led to the development of new electrolytes, functional separators, and artificial interphases ...

The molecular building blocks of the polymer backbone contain functional groups, or clusters of atoms that serve as reactive sites for modification. Notably, the double bonds between carbons increase ...

Our expertise is applied for the development of nano- and/or microstructured (multi-) functional polymer materials, nanoparticles, polymer composites and wet-chemical coatings for following 5 ...

The understanding of events occurring at interfaces between the material surface and the environment of living tissues is crucial for the rational design of new biomaterials for tissue engineering or ...
