This research axis consolidates projects aimed at inducing structural organization through supra- and macromolecular interactions and advanced processing techniques. By gaining a fundamental comprehension of interactions at the macromolecular scale, we engineer materials with precisely defined structures that yield targeted functional properties.
To achieve this, we employ a bottom-up approach, increasingly utilizing bio-based building blocks to address global societal concerns regarding the environmental impact of polymer materials.
