Please check our new publications on the influence of confinement on pH‐ and pore filling dependent polyelectrolyte oligomer chain charge, on dye-sensitized polymerization with green light for functionalization of mesoporous films as well as on wetting-controlled localized placement of surface functionalities within nanopores.

Maria Ochs will present insights into her work on local placement of functional polymers in inverse opal monolayers at the 16th Zsigmondy Colloquium in Düsseldorf, Germany, in March 2020.

We welcome Samet Varol as a new Postdoc. He will work on new approaches to control transport through nanopores.

We welcome Laura starting her PhD with us. Laura will work on understanding proton transport in mesoporous silica membranes.

We welcome Lucy starting her PhD with us. Lucy will work on 3D-Printing of mesoporous materials.

Please check our new publications on Fabrication and in situ functionalisation of mesoporous silica as well as on Interplay of wetting and transport in mesoporous silica films.

Please check our new publication on Nanopore Accessibility in Polyelectrolyte Block‐Co‐Oligomer Functionalized Mesopores.

Please check our new publications on mesoporous film gravure printing and on paper janus membranes.

Congratulations to Sonja who successfully defended her PhD Thesis today! Together with BASF Sonja was looking at enzyme stabilization strategies for washing applications using porous materials and polymers.

We welcome Claire and Joanna starting their PhD with us. Claire will work on Visible light induced functionalization of nanoscale pores and Joanna on understanding Nanoscale porosity on paper functionality.
