            editor of 4 books

            (polymers/polypeptides,
            polymers/CNT) with well-defined complex macromolecular
            architectures (star,

            polymerization (AP) high vacuum
            techniques, as well as combinations of AP with other
            polymerization
            methodologies (, ATRP, TEMPO, catalytic, etc). These
            polymers are ideal models
