Research interest

The primary field of research is focused on the study of special polymer structures and state-of-the-art polymerisation techniques. Research activity at the department involves both applied and basic research, often in cooperation with several industrial partners including some multinational firms.

Current research projects

Novel Functional Polymers

Application of Quasiliving Radical Polymerization

Nanostructured Amphiphilic Conetworks

Environmentally Friendly Degradation and Transformations of PVC

Polymers of Novel Molecular Composition and Topology

Quasiliving Carbocationic Polymerization
