lang="EN-US"> Prof. Hadjichristidis is an international
reference in polymer science
(450 papers ISI, h-index: 63, 15350 citations, 18 patents,
editor of 4 books
and author of 1 book on Block Copolymers). His research
interests include
synthesis of novel homopolymers, copolymers and hybrids
(polymers/polypeptides,
polymers/CNT) with well-defined complex macromolecular
architectures (star,
comb, cyclic, dendritic, etc ) by using anionic
polymerization (AP) high vacuum
techniques, as well as combinations of AP with other
polymerization
methodologies (, ATRP, TEMPO, catalytic, etc). These
polymers are ideal models
for checking the theory, understanding and improving the
performance of
industrial polymers (e.g. polyethylene, polystyrene based
thermoplastic
elastomers) and are potential candidates for high-tech
applications (e.g.
nanolithography, drug delivery, high temperature membranes).</span><span
