Covers the fundamental concepts of polymer science, including the birth and production of polymers and the influence of molecular characteristics on polymer properties.
Explores autonomously moving and assembling soft matter systems, focusing on hydrogel actuators, latch-mediated spring actuation, and self-spinning filament bundles.
Covers the general aspects of polymer materials, the 'Big 5' technical polymers, spider silk nanostructure, synthetic polymers, major application segments of plastics, and the activities of the Polymer Science department at EPFL.
Explores polymer synthesis techniques and their impact on molecular characteristics, including living free radical polymerization and macromolecular engineering.
Explores the mechanisms and applications of controlled radical polymerization techniques, enabling precise control over polymer structure and composition.
Explores polymer science, bioplastics, and sustainable market trends in the global bioplastics industry, emphasizing the shift towards renewable feedstock and novel bioplastic materials.
