Welcome!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to team Makro! We are polymer scientists \u2013 from polymer synthesis to polymer physical chemistry to polymer engineering and applications. Our fundamental research focuses on novel synthetic methods and advanced applications of complex, controlled, bioinspired, biobased and bioactive macromolecules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastics based on renewable raw materials, energy-efficient lightweight materials, sustainable materials for flexible electronics, interactive materials for biomedical applications and the development of complex, quasi-living material systems are just some of our research topics. If you are interested to learn more, check out the research groups headed by Laura Hartmann, Stefan Naumann, Stephan Schmidt and Prasad Shastri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
