The work by our former PhD student Gianluca Gazzola during his visit at CP2M is now published in EPJ! We showed that dispersion polymerization of styrene with a small amount of P4VP macro-CTA generates uniform micron-sized polystyrene particles! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Just published in ACS Polymer Au! Herein, we established PEGVE as a promising and previously overlooked platform for the design of thermoresponsive 🌡️ and antifouling polymer biointerfaces. Congrats Francesco (Franz) for leading this project! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

We are pleased to share a new article in collaboration with the group of Eric Dufresne at Cornell University. We showed how to grow thick and dense polymer brushes from lipid membranes by incorporating a polymerization initiator into lipid bilayers. 👇pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Happy to share our latest JACS article on IPN-based photocatalysts 💡 supported by polymer matrices, enabling reactions in organic solvents and water🫧 with easy recovery and reuse♻️. Thanks to @DellAmico_group for the nice collaboration! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Check out our new article in Chemistry of Materials, where we explore the effect of structural dispersity in polymer electrolytes. We are very grateful to Prof. Rossana Pasquino and Prof. Franca Castiglione for their help with rheology and NMR studies! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

We are pleased to share our most recent publication in Angewandte Chemie, where we delve into the behavior of polyelectrolytes containing spiropyran units. Congratulations to our PhD Carlo Gericke for all the efforts put in this work! Check it out to: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

In @Biomac_ACS we showed how cyclic polyoxazoline brushes on NPs enhance stealth properties in terms of protein binding and cell uptake in comparison with linear brush analogues. Topology matters!⭕️ In collaboration with @DiBio_UniPD and @ugent pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

And while some were having fun in Warwick, others were presenting at the PhD forum @discunipd. Carlos gave a talk on structural dispersity of POEGMAs, Alberto had a poster on zwitterionic polymers, and Gian couldn't be (yet) in 2 places at the same time but his poster was there!

Happy to share in @J_A_C_S our findings on the impact of side-chain heterogeneity in PEG-based polymers on relevant interfacial properties like hydration, lubricity and protein fouling pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac… Congrats @carlos_pavon98 & Irene, and thanks @KlokLab, @soft_isa & all!
