Summary
The aim of the proposed Programme is to combine the complementary expertises of leading European research groups in the experimental and theoretical study of complex structures on the basis of stimuli-responsive polymers and copolymers with linear or complex topology in order to gain a deeper understanding of two fundamental aspects of polymer science:
The first question is the understanding of the formation of such structures: self-assembly in stimuli-responsive block copolymers, dendrimers, branched polymers, thermoresponsive gels, interpolymer supramolecular complexes, networks with varying topologies and hybrids of responsive polymers with biopolymers.
The second question is the correlation between the behavior of these polymer systems under the change of external conditions (temperature, pressure, electric or magnetic field, shear, ionic strength, pH and composition of solution…) and the chemical structure of the constituents. More (PDF 217 KB)
