Who we are
The POLYFUN research group includes three professors/tenured researchers, a young researcher, and a dynamic team of post-docs and PhD students. Bachelor’s and Master’s students supervised by the permanent staff are also integral members of the POLYFUN team.
What we do
We research polymeric materials and composites, exploring the intricate relationships between chemical structure, molecular architecture, processing conditions, and performance. Sustainability is at the core of our work, guiding the development of environmentally compatible materials.
How we do it
We leverage the complementary chemical and engineering expertise of our team to integrate diverse experimental approaches and techniques. Our goal is to modify, mix, process, manufacture, and test innovative materials, driving advancements in their development and application.
