General Research Interests
- Synthesis of well defined polymers with a variety of molecular architectures by controlled/living ionic polymerization and ring-opening polymerization
- Characterization of polymers and polymer-based materials
- Solution behavior of (co)polymers, with emphasis on aggregation/assembly in selective solvents
- Solid-state and surface properties of (co)polymers
- New applications of polymers
Current Research Topics
- Controlled metal-free anionic polymerization: development of initiating systems, expansion of the range of monomers and macromolecular architectures
- Biohybrid polymers: synthesis by metal-free anionic polymerization, solution and solid-state properties, potential application as biocompatible surfactants and nanocarriers
