Polymer Chemistry and Materials

The research in the Polymer Chemistry and Materials group focuses on the synthesis and properties of polymer materials. It aims to discover new ways in which polymers can be made, to understand how polymer structure influences its properties, and to demonstrate how polymers can be used to tackle today’s challenges. Of particular interest is to improve the sustainability of polymers by studying materials derived from renewable feedstocks, by developing more efficient and less wasteful polymerisation methods, and to advance end-of-use strategies.

Interested in taking part in our research?
Undergraduate students planning their thesis work or an internship can contact Satu directly via email. Please include information on when you would wish to carry out the work, a short description of your chemistry knowledge (e.g., relevant studies and work experience), and possible wishes related to the project.

Prospective doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers are asked to also include a CV and a cover letter describing their motivation to apply to the group, previous research experience, and the titles and supervisors of their theses.
