Topic details

Topic Synthesis and functionalization of polymers for use in electrochemistry and preparation of ion selective membranes.
Supervisor Miroslav Otmar, PhD.
Consultant Jan Žitka, PhD.
Department Polymer Membranes
Description The topic comprises preparation of selected polymers bearing functional groups suitable for ion exchange (sulfonic, phosphonic, quaternary ammonium and phosphonium). Further, the synthesis of heterocyclic coumpounds for conductive polymers, polymer electrolytes and for surface modification of electrodes, the synthesis of chiral selectors and development of the methodology for their anchoring on polymer carrier on the basis of the "click chemistry" and further utilizing this methodology for binding of biologically active compounds on polymer for improvement of their pharmacological properties.
