Materials Research in the Group of Polymer Chemistry at ETH

Abstract

The research activities of the group of Polymer Chemistry in the Department of Materials at ETH Zürich are briefly reviewed. The main research areas are concerned with (i) the behavior of polymeric solids, (ii) polymers and inorganic materials, and (iii) multi-functional polymeric materials. All three themes involve modeling, but the first one has a particularly strong simulation component. Two Zürich start-up companies have emerged from the group, Global Surface AG and MatSim GmbH.
