Research platform for the synthesis, formulation, and advanced physicochemical characterisation of polymers and nanoparticles (Z01)

• Subject Area: Preparatory and Physical Chemistry of Polymers
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 316213987

Z01 is a platform that supports and develops dedicated measurement possibilities to address important questions of the CRC. The support and developed methodological areas include: High-throughput experimentation, upscaled synthesis of polymers, solution characterisation by hydrodynamics, fractionation, light scattering, image-based characterisation, supply of human monocyte-derived macrophages, as well as formulation procedures that satisfy the requirements of a good manufacturing practice (GMP).
