Research Profile

The research interest of the Polymer Chemistry Group is mainly within the field of synthetic and supramolecular chemistry, directed primarily towards the creation of structurally novel linear polymers, defined supramolecular structures and two-dimensional polymers. Methodological developments also play their part as do fundamental questions like thickening of polymer chains and its impact on properties.

Our research is driven by the novelty of the molecular structures aimed at and by the demand to achieve a visible progress for polymer synthesis.

Although applications are always of relevance in defining the research goal, basic research questions in the field are of equal interest and importance.
