Congratulations Peng on this beautiful piece of work. Great teamwork between Nico Bruns, Michael Mayers Biopysics group AMI, and Polymers&Materials

Excited to share our work on mechanically triggered degradable polymers is out Nature Chemistry. A big thank you to Nico Bruns Christoph Weder and Michael Mayer for their great support during this work AMI NCCR Bio-Inspired Materials Uni Fribourg nature.com/articles/s4155…

After more than two years in review, we can finally share Peng Liu｜刘朋 fantastic work on a new monomer for radical polymerizations that renders polymer degradable by a combination of mechanical force and base hydrolysis, published in Nature Chemistry: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Our paper on mechano-degradable polymers is finally out Nature Chemistry. rdcu.be/dEzO4 Congratulations Peng Liu｜刘朋 and the NCCR Bio-Inspired Materials AMI team (@SJimaja , Michael Mayer, Christoph Weder)

Des scientifiques de AMI , en collaboration avec TU Darmstadt , ont mis au point un nouveau type de #polymère , le principal composant des plastiques, plus facilement dégradable que les matériaux habituels. shorturl.at/efIKU #pollution #plastique #Unifr

Neuer Ansatz für abbaubare Kunststoffe in Nature Chemistry vorgestellt: Durch einen neuartigen molekularen Baustein, der in die Polymere eingebaut wird, kann der Abbau durch eine Kombination von mechanischen Kräften und wässriger Lauge ausgelöst werden. tu-darmstadt.de/universitaet/a…

We have 12 PhD positions in a doctoral training network on synthetic cells in labs across Europe. Get in touch! euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/214286

Nature now charges $12,290 US to publish a single article open access. Shall we list some things that cost less than that? I'll go first: a 2017 BMW 330i sedan, a 7-day cruise for a family of four, six Louis Vuitton purses. 🤪

Amphiphilic polymer conetworks exist as gels, membranes, coatings, and microparticles. Now we show that they are excellent materials for microcapsules! Fantastic work by Sara Tatiana R. Velasquez 🇭🇳🇳🇱 in the framework of BioinspiredPIRE and NCCR Bio-Inspired Materials

Job alert ! We have multiple open and exciting PhD positions! If you have a strong background in polymer chemistry, and are interested in developing polymer brushes with energy harvesting properties, or designing synthetic polymers that emulate proteins, please contact us!

First time featured at the C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) magazine! Thanks to Peter Carlton and the CAS team for selecting me as a #CASFutureLeader 2024.

Congratulations Andrea! A fantastic achievement. And I am looking forward to having you around for some additional time! Lots of good things to come. 😀🥳

I can finally share that I have been awarded the Athene Young Investigator funding from TU Darmstadt , starting in 04/2024. The programme ensures 5 years as Junior Group Leader and an embedded PhD position. The Biohybrid Systems for Cellular Engineering lab is officially open !

#Drittmittel -Rekord 📈 Die eingeworbenen Drittmittel der TU Darmstadt für 2023 sind mit rund 249,1 Millionen Euro auf einem neuen Spitzenwert 😃 Das Vorjahresergebnis konnte um 17,8 % gesteigert werden. Einen sehr starken Zuwachs gab bei den EU-Programmen: tu-darmstadt.de/universitaet/a…
