This month Maarten joined the Department of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry at Ghent University as a guest professor. For the next three years, he will spend part of this time in Ghent, to continue the collaborative work he started lasted year during his sabbatical stay in the Polymer Chemistry Research Group of Prof. Filip Du…
Month: September 2022
Lucas’ recent paper in Adv. Mater. Interfaces accepted
Lucas’ most recent paper has been published in Advanced Materials Interfaces. This work, which Lucas performed partially together with undergraduate student Jelle, presents a facile and effective two-step (grafting-to) strategy to introduce a thermoresponsive polymer as a responsive coating on a surface. To this end, Lucas reacted block copolymers of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) onto…
Maarten will give Diligentia lecture
On November 7, Maarten will give a Diligentia lecture for the Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Natuurkunde (Royal Society of Physics) at theater Diligentia in The Hague. This lecture, which is aimed at the general audience (with an interest in physical sciences in a broad sense) will address the development of covalent adaptable networks (‘vitrimers’) as novel type…
Annemieke will present her work at NWO Chains 2022
Our group is well represented at the upcoming NWO Chains conference, with several contributions to the poster sessions. On top of that, Annemieke will present her work on self-healing (non)-fluorinated antifouling polymer brushes during a lecture on Wednesday September 21. Please find your way to the Functional Polymer Materials session from 14:10-15:10h in Room 65…
Thijmen started as new PhD student
This month Thijmen van Voorthuizen started as PhD student, working on a project that is part of the NWA-ORC (“Research along routes by Consortia”) consortium OBSeRVeD (Odour Based Selective Recognition of Veterinary Diseases), which was successfully obtained with Dr. Louis de Smet from ORC/WUR. Thijmen will work on the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs)…
