Green Industrial Chemistry-Polymer recycling

------------------------------------------------------------------

Polymer nanoparticles and dispersions. Nanoparticles with new architectures, especially core-shell type particles and their dispersions are prepared for applications in structural parts and functional polymers

Chemical reaction engineering. Radical and catalytic controlled processes. Synthesis of new materials, including block copolymers, by living or controlled anionic, cationic and free radical processes. The Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) technology was recently implemented to perform ultrafast reactions.

Block copolymers-based technology. ‘‘Bottom-up’’ approaches using self-organizing block copolymers (BCPs) with precisely controlled block lengths and composition are under investigation to develop nanofabrication processes.

Polymeric Liquid Crystals. Chemical concepts are introduced and exploited to tailor new liquid crystalline polymeric materials to understand basic structure/property relationships and meet demands of industrial applications
