Research

The research at the institute is devoted to technical aspects of polymer chemistry. The focus is on the following topics:

Detailed investigations into kinetics and mechanism of radical polymerizations
Polymerization of bio-based monomers
Recycling of polymers
Rheology
Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations using the modeling platform mcPolymer developped at the institute
Emulsion polymerizations
Ionic polymerizations
Supercritical carbon dioxide as process medium

Additional topics are listed in the section research areas / equipment.
