Offer Description
We invite applications for a PhD candidate to join the Programmable Polymers Research Team led by Dr. hab. inż. Róża Szweda, Prof. AMU.
Project Description:
Nowadays, the progress in polymer synthesis enables full control of monomer sequences with biological precision. However, to enable their practical use a sustainable and highly efficient approach has to be developed. It is expected that sequence-defined macromolecules can be designed to fold into particular 3D structures by a selection of the proper monomer alphabet, as it is observed for natural macromolecules. Yet, very little is known about single chain folding of non-natural macromolecules with defined primary structure and their assembly into complex supramolecular structures has not been investigated, so far. The project aims to obtain knowledge on sequence-regulated, hierarchical polymer selfassembly, which is required for creating synthetic materials with structural sophistication and complex function as represented by living matter.
