On Monday, 9.9.2024, our group hosted the International Symposium of Polymers and Supramolecular Chemistry, together with the group of prof. Richard Hoogenboom from Ghent University. After a day full of inspiring presentations from different areas of polymer chemistry, we had some time for informal scientific discussions and networking over a glass of beer 🙂
This year’s summer teambuilding activity together with the Porous Polymers group featured a scenic, traditional steamboat cruise on the Vltava River. The cruise took us to Slapy, passing through stunning natural landscapes. The history of this still-operating steamboat dates back to the 19th century. Our entire team was captivated by the engineering marvel of the […]
We’re excited to share our latest review article, published in Biomacromolecules, titled „Stimuli-Responsive Polymers for Advanced 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging: From Chemical Design to Biomedical Applications.“ In this comprehensive review, we focus on the fascinating world of fluorine-based MRI (19F MRI) and its potential to transform clinical diagnostics. We explore the design and application of […]
In July, our group visited IUPAC Macro conference in Warwick, UK. It was a great opportunity to attend many excellent lectures delivered by world leading experts in the polymer chemistry field and to show some of our latest research on advanced polymerization techniques.
In August 2023, our group attended the ACS Meeting conference in San Francisco, presenting our research on chemistry of poly(2-oxazoline)s, synthesis of advanced nanoparticles by polymerization-induced self-assembly, fluorinated polymers for MRI and recyclable thermosets form renewable feedstocks.
