The group – Polymer and Colloidal Chemistry
Research in our group focuses on functional polymer nanoparticles for applications in pharmacy, catalysis, or materials science. We are primarily working on the design, synthesis, and physicochemical characterization of responsive nanoparticles that can change their properties in response to external stimuli. To test these colloidal materials in the context of their (biological) application, we are closely working together with several research groups.
Your research – Multifunctional Block Copolymer Nanoparticles
Shape anisotropic particles with defined internal nanostructures and patterned surfaces are promising building blocks for advanced applications in biology, photonics, catalysis etc. To prepare such multi-functional colloids, we use evaporation-induced phase separation of block copolymers (BCPs). Since this method is still limited in controlling the spatial distribution of chemical functionalities, you will develop new post-assembly strategies to introduce and modify functional groups after the particle preparation.
