Research

Self-assembly of polymers
Nanostructures with variable shape and size are produced from (block) copolymers or using controlled polymerisation processes.

Supramolecular structure formation
Anisotropic structures are assembled from modified polymer building blocks through directing supramolecular interactions.

Reactive monomers & polymers
Novel reactive monomers are synthesised and tested in different polymerisation processes, while reactive polymers are investigated for subsequent modifications.

Biological interactions
We study the interaction of our nanostructures with cells or tissue in collaboration with pharmacy and medicine.

Conductive & redox-active polymers
Conjugated polymers and other conductive polymers, as well as redox-active polymers, are prepared by various controlled processes.

Reactive printing processes
3D structures are printed by in situ polymerization processes or from dynamic supramolecular materials.
