CMSE Presentation Series: Professor Dr. Tanja Weil
About Tanja
Dr. Professor Tanja Weil, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Germany
This presentation will address the impact of metathesis-based polymerization techniques such as ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), 1-alkyne polymerization and the cyclopolymerization of diynes on polymer-based material science. Along with aspects of polymerization and photo-catalysis, the design and tailor-made synthesis of functional polymeric materials will be addressed. Examples include stationary phases for selective metal extraction, analytical- and preparative-scale chromatography and large-volume applications such as the downstream processing of fermentation broths. Furthermore, functional supports for molecular, continuous heterogeneous catalysis (Figure 1) and continuous electro(bio-)catalysis will be presented. Finally, the synthesis of nanoparticle-reinforced polymeric, porous scaffolds from biodegradable monomers and their use in regenerative medicine will be demonstrated.
