Fluorinated polymers for 19F MRI
We develop novel water-soluble fluorinated polymers as highly sensitive tracers in 19F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On this topic, we collaborate with the group of Prof. Daniel Jirak at IKEM.
Photocontrolled radical polymerizations
Photocontrolled radical polymerizations are innovative techniques that use light to precisely control the polymerization process. By leveraging light as a stimulus, these methods allow for the fine-tuning of polymer architecture, …
Chemistry of poly(2-oxazoline)s
Poly(2-oxazoline)s are a versatile class of synthetic polymers with tunable properties, and excellent biocompatibility. Their unique structure allows for precise control over molecular weight, hydrophilicity, and functionalization, making them highly …
Polymerization-induced self-assembly
We develop advanced nano/biomaterials by the modern technique of polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). PISA is a cutting-edge technique in polymer science that enables the formation of well-defined, nanoscale structures directly during …
