Guest lecture: Complex Architecture Asymmetric Copolymers via Anionic and Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization: Synthesis, Characterization and Self-Assembly
Guest lecture by Professor Apostolos Avgeropoulos, University of Ioannina in Greece.
Time: Fri 2019-05-17 13.30 - 14.30
Location: Rånby room, Teknikringen 56, floor 2, Campus Valhallavägen
Participating: Professor Apostolos Avgeropoulos, University of Ioannina in Greece.
Apostolos Avgeropoulos is professor at the department of materials science and engineering at the University of Ioannina in Greece and he is also Director of the Polymeric Materials Laboratory.
His research interests comprise synthesis of novel polymers via anionic polymerization with high vacuum techniques, copolymers with two and three segments, star copolymers with 3, 4, 16 arms and bridged copolymers of the H and Super-H type, synthesis of copolymers containing silicon, copolymers with new dienes, synthesis of copolymers with styrene - isoprene, isoprene - butadiene, styrene - dimethylsiloxane and other combinations exhibiting high molecular weights for the preparation of photonic materials, synthesis of dendritic homo and copolymers with dienic arms for applications as viscosity modifiers and studying of the microphase separation, synthesis of biopolymers and biodegradable polymers, and synthesis of linear, non-linear and cyclic oligopeptides and polypeptides for applications of hosting anticancer drugs.
