Tomorrow I will present our work (@Voets_lab, @RodriMagana,Chendan Li, @MSCActions) on polymerization-induced assembly of polymers & colloids @#NWOCHAINS2021. Great session on self-assembly across length scales (10:20-11:35) organized by Wouter Roos, Willem Kegel & @DanielaJKraft
July 28, 2025 at 7:53 AM
Hot from the press! Check out this Perspective in an inspiring new issue of @Matter_CP with @Voets_lab, @IKVoets. We highlight the beautiful work of the @Macfarlane_RJ group on macroscopic objects from self-assembling nanoparticles.
July 28, 2025 at 7:53 AM
Back @UtrechtUni, @UUBeta! Now as an assistant professor @UUPharmaceutics! Looking forward to all the great science in the upcoming years!
July 28, 2025 at 7:53 AM
Hot from the press @MacroJrnls_ACS! Read about how we used SANS, DLS, and rheology to investigate how polymer architecture impacts thermorheological behavior. Credits to @raghidabz, @theHelgesonLab , @professor_meh and @HawkerNation.
July 28, 2025 at 7:53 AM
Of course I got a lot of help along the way! Many thanks to all the labs that I had the privilege of working in during the last decade: @Voets_lab, @TNO, @theHelgesonLab, @HawkerNation, & Van 't Hoff lab of physical & colloid chemistry @UUBeta. Your support is highly appreciated!
