| Description | Modern medicine and diagnostics are increasingly opening up to synthetic macromolecular substances and exploiting their potential. This work aims to design, synthesize, and study the properties of new polymeric materials based on methacrylamides and methacrylates. Polymers will be prepared by new methods of controlled polymerization, especially RAFT or CuRDRP. The goal will be the preparation of polymers with a linear, diblock, or differently branched structure. The work will focus on the organic and polymeric synthesis of new polymers and their characterization using modern instrumental techniques (SEC, FFFF, LC-MS, NMR, etc.) and their characterization of solution behavior and biocompatibility. Testing of prepared materials in biological systems will take place within the framework of cooperation with domestic and foreign workplaces. During your studies, we offer the possibility of an internship abroad as part of our cooperation. Knowledge and experience of the applicant in organic and/or macromolecular chemistry is an advantage, together with the desire to learn new things in other fields, e.g. biochemistry or biology. We offer exciting and varied work in a young, dynamic team at a top-class academic workplace. |
