We're excited to announce the mini-review on the current state of anionic polymerization of 1,3-dienes now published @PolymChem!🎉This comprehensive overview is highlighted with a cover and is available as open access for a limited time. Don't miss out! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

What a fantastic meeting we had last week! We've put together a great slideshow of pictures for a fun throwback. Check them out here: ip-24.org/pictures.

What incredible days we've had so far at #IP24Mainz! A huge thank you to everyone for coming, presenting, and being such wonderful guests. We hope you’ve all had the vibrant exchange of ideas you were looking for to advance polymer chemistry. Enjoy the rest of the meeting!

Even while hosting a conference on ionic polymerization where we rarely show our activities on that field, there's no reason not to share our latest work on CO2-based polycarbonates from biobased cyclic terpenes! Head over to @PolymChem to check it out. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We’re in full preparation mode for #IP24Mainz! Signs are up to make sure you can find us easily. See you all very soon! 🤗

It’s getting real! We’re thrilled that #IP24Mainz kicks off this Sunday! We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Mainz. Stay tuned for updates, and keep an eye on our website: ip-24.org. See you soon!

Think anionic ring opening polymerization can't happen in the presence of water? Think again!💧 In our recent paper in MRC from @WileySTEM, we share our unexpected findings about the AROP of epoxides at the static interface between oil and alkaline water. doi.org/10.1002/marc.2…

Spotlight on Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE)! Is MTBE an underrated player in living anionic polymerization? We’ve explored this intriguing question in our latest study. Don't miss out—discover our findings now in @ACSPublications pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our latest publication in @PolymChem!🧐 We've reported on the anionic polymerization of phenyl-substituted isoprene derivatives. In cooperation with @LabHeinze, we explored cyclization-enabled fluorescence.🖱️Discover all details here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

What a fantastic experience! Last week's @Macro2024 was incredibly enriching for all our group members in attendance. A heartfelt thank you to the organizers! We're excited to integrate the inspirations from these fruitful discussions into our upcoming research endeavors. 👨🏻‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬

Yet another nice work published at @ACSPublications and just awarded with a poster price at @Macro2024. We reported on fully biobased ABA-type TPEs via the anionic polymerization. A telechelic approach gave high perfoming materials in one single step! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We nearly forgot to highlight this recent work from out group! Tackling the water-initiation, we report on the synthesis of CO2-based polycarbonates with low Tgs derived from long-chain terpenes. Check it out at @ACSPublications ! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Even more excellent talks are on the way! #IP24Mainz is steadily taking shape. 🤗

The final plenary speaker is yet to be announced: we eagerly await the presentation by @Theresa_Reineke from @UMNews, sharing the research of @ReinekeGroup . This serves as a final reminder to submit an abstract for one of the 22 oral presentations. Deadline is tomorrow, May 8th!

Approaching the final invited speakers: Stefan Naumann from @Uni_Stuttgart and @brett_fors from @Cornell. Exciting presentations await as they share their intriguing research at #IP24Mainz. Deadline for oral communications closes in two days!!

Slowly approaching the last invited lectures of #IP24Mainz. We're excited to welcome Christine Jerome from Liege, who will provide insights into their research on polyphosphoesters. Additionally, Junpeng Zhao (@SCUT_SIE) will share his expertise on chemoselective organocatalysis

Two experts in the analysis of block copolymers! We're eagerly anticipating the lectures by Felix Schacher (@UniJena) and Apostolos Avgeropoulos (University of Ioannina) as part of the #IP24Mainz lineup. Please note that the deadline for oral contributions is approaching!!

Delighted to announce that Junpo He, organizer of the 2019 IP meeting from @FudanUni, will be joining us in Mainz to present his latest research. Additionally, @luzylein from @univgroningen will be delivering a lecture at #IP24Mainz. We're excited to welcome and learn from both

Today, we're thrilled to announce Markus Gallei from @Saar_Uni and Priyadarsi De @BIPOLOffic877949 from @iiserkol as our next two speakers. We eagerly anticipate their talks on recent research topics. #IP24Mainz is approaching, so does the early bird deadline-register now!

Please save the date for the EPF European Polymer Congress 2025 - June 22-27, 2025! We are happy to announce our first plenary speaker. See you all next year in Groningen! @univgroningen @KNCVchemie @EPF2022
