New PhD Position: development of an ingestible sensor
As part of a collaboration of imec, the Synthetic Organic Chemistry group at Radboud University in Nijmegen and our Laboratory of Organic Chemistry at Wageningen University & Research, we have a PhD position vacant on the development of an ingestible sensor. Ingestible sensors have the potential to non-invasively measure biomarkers and metabolites in the gastrointestinal…
Sybren’s work features on the cover of Polymer Chemistry
Sybren’s recently accepted paper in Polymer Chemistry has made the cover of the journal. The cover artfully illustrates how a change in polarity in polyimine networks can affect the mechanical properties of the materials: i.e. from soft, ‘water-like’ materials in the case of polar chains, to hard, ‘rock-like’ materials in the case of apolar chains.…
Maarten features in the Pioneering Investigators 2021 issue of Polymer Chemistry
Maarten was invited to contribute to the 2021 Pioneering Investigators issue of the journal Polymer Chemistry. As explained on their website, this collection “gathers the very best work from mid-career researchers who have firmly established themselves in the field of polymer chemistry and continuously publish creative, innovative work”. The full issue can be read here.
Welcome to Shauni
Last week Shauni Keller started in the group as a postdoc on a NWO GoChem KIEM project, entitled “Metaschuim – een nieuw en effectief geluidsisolerend materiaal“. This project, which was started as part of the Top Sector Chemistry Student Competition and which was ultimately the winning project, is now aiming at a more systematic study…
Lucas wins poster prize at M2i conference
During the M2i conference held this week, Lucas Teunissen was awarded the poster prize in the category: Best Public Relations value, for his poster entitled “Responsive surface properties by non-sticking copolymer brushes on modified steels“. Congrats, Lucas!
Double congrats to Sybren
This week we not only congratulate Sybren on his birthday, but also on acceptance of his paper in Polymer Chemistry. In this work, Sybren has shed light on the effect of polarity on the dynamic material properties of polyimine-based covalent adaptable networks. The paper will be part of the Polymer Chemistry Pioneering Investigators Issue 2021,…
Annemieke wins poster pitch prize at CHAINS2020
During this year’s online CHAINS conference Annemieke was awarded the prize for the best poster pitch. This new category was added to this year’s online edition of the conference. Her poster was called Self-Healing Antifouling Coatings. Congrats, Annemieke!
Congrats to Sybren for his paper in Chemical Science
Sybren’s first paper was published in the journal Chemical Science. In his paper, entitled Molecular Control over Vitrimer-like Mechanics – Tuneable Dynamic Motifs based on the Hammett Equation, Sybren demonstrated how the physical-organic Hammett equation can be used to control the material properties of imine-based covalent adaptable networks. His results guide the way to durable…
Focus session Dynamic Polymers for Advanced Materials at NWO Chains 2020
Together with Matt Baker (MERLN Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine, Maastricht University) Maarten is co-organising a focus session during the next NWO Chains conference. Their focus session is entitled Dynamic Polymers for Advanced Materials, is scheduled for Wednesday December 9, from 14.15-15.35h, and will host a combination of international and national speakers. While traditional polymeric…
