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!

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions PF 2024 Call is out! With more than 130MSCA Individual Fellowships, Università di Padova strongly encourages candidates who are willing to perform the highest quality research. Are you interested in presenting your MSCA-PF Project with UNIPD? Contact us: unipd.it/en/msca-pf

Position: Postdoctoral Fellow in Synthetic Polymer Chemistry We are actively seeking a postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in synthetic polymer chemistry. The ideal candidate will be proficient in synthesizing molecular building blocks and sophisticated monomers

My group is looking for a postdoc, with a lot of flexibility on topic and starting date. Skills in molecular chemistry would fit, but this person might reinforce our expertise in vesicles or strong coupling: such backgrounds may also fit. For info: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/231777

Our review on growing polymer brushes from NPs to modulate their interactions with proteins is out now in Langmuir as part of a special issue dedicated to Prof. Spencer! Check it out 👇 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… and congrats Carlos Pavón on your 1st paper! More to come...

Honored to have spoken at EUPOC 2024 on "Polymer Brushes" in Bertinoro (Italy) . Big thanks to Eddy Benetti Macromolecular and Organic Chemistry Lab , Harm-Anton Klok Harm-Anton Klok , and Michele Laus for the invitation!

Happy to share in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 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/ja… Congrats Carlos Pavón & Irene, and thanks Harm-Anton Klok, Soft Materials and Interfaces (Prof. Lucio Isa) & all!

The head of Chmielarz Research Group Prof. Paweł Chmielarz had a nice meeting 🤝with specialists in the field of polymer brushes synthesis🧪 Prof. Szczepan Zapotoczny Zapotoczny Group Uniwersytet Jagielloński & Prof. Edmondo Benetti Macromolecular and Organic Chemistry Lab Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche - UniPD during IUPAC Macro2024 Conference-University of Warwick University of Warwick❗️👇

And while some were having fun in Warwick, others were presenting at the PhD forum Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche - UniPD. 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!

Our recent paper will be highlighted in the backcover of one of the next Chemical Science issues. I thank my collaborators DJ Kim Xinchen Dai Cesare Berton, and MUR and Swiss National Science Foundation for having made this research possible. Here is the updated link: doi.org/10.1039/D4SC04…

In Biomacromolecules 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 Department of Biology – University of Padova and UGent pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
