Experimental and theoretical investigation of complex polymer structures (SUPERNET)

Summary

The aim of the project is to combine experimental and theoretical studies of block copolymers, networks, branched polymers and liquid crystalline polymers to gain a deeper understanding of two fundamental aspects of polymer science; firstly the process of formation of complex topological structures such as branched polymers and multicomponent or interpenetrating networks and ordered polymers, and secondly the correlation between the materials properties and the chemical structure of the constituent monomoers or polymer blocks.
