      日前,德国汉堡大学Patrick Theoto教授来本课题组进行访问交流,并进行了题为“

Simplifying Molecular Complexity of Polymer Synthesis的学术报告。在学术报告中,老师以及同学们与Theoto教授就材料粘弹性表征、材料表面亲疏水性调控等问题进行了较为深入的探讨。


报告摘要:
Incredible progress has been made in synthetic polymer chemistry to control the polymer chain length, structure and architecture via controlled/living polymerization reactions as well as their functionalization via efficient post-modification chemistries. The development in this field is still very intense and dynamic, leading to an ever-increasing molecular complexity.
However, this increasing complexity on the molecular level demands for highly advanced specialists possessing the skillset to synthesize such chemical structures. This clearly limits or slows down the advancement to new scientific areas. Hence, we have addressed this challenge over the years by developing simple synthetic routes, while maintaining a molecular complexity, thereby providing the synthetic tools for many scientists to prepare highly functional polymer materials with unprecedented molecular precision. 
Synthetic routes, possibilities, remaining challenges and opportunities for next generation polymers will be discussed with the aim to development and study of structure-property relationships of polymeric materials. As such, novel syntheses of polymer materials for smart materials and battery related materials will be presented as examples.
