Michi J.T. is participating in the Bordeaux Polymer Conference (BPC 2018) and presenting our work on polyimides with his poster “Towards Materials Applications of Polyimides Generated by Hydrothermal Polymerization” – looking forward to an outstanding lineup at BPC 2018!

Today the newly elected members of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), among which Miriam, received their decrees at the admission ceremony. We are honored  that Miriam was elected member of the Young Academy! Read the official OeAW press release here.

Michi J. T. and Elias are attending the conference “Polymeric Insulators for applications in electrical engineering” (Polymere Isolierstoffe in der Elektrotechnik) hosted by the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik e.V., VDE) in Zittau. Today, Michi J. T. gave a great talk entitled “Composites of highly crystalline polyimides”.

This week, Miriam is in Shanghai participating in the Sino-German Young Scientist Forum “Polymer Chemistry in Functional Materials”, funded by the Sino-German Center for Research Promotion (SGC). Looking forward to a great meeting!  

Today Miriam gave the talk “Under pressure – How to create materials inspired by nature” at TEDxTUWien. The video of Miram’s talk will be online soon – we’ll keep you posted.

We are honored that Miriam has been elected member of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW). Read the official OeAW press release here.

We are very happy that our company, the TU Wien spin-off UGP materials is among the 10 finalists of this years S&B award of the Sallinger fonds! Read more here.

Dietmar, Michi J. T. and Miriam are presenting our high-performance polyimide CRYS – fabricated by hydrothermal polymerization by our company UGP materials – at the Hannover fair this week. If you are there, visit us in hall 5 at booth D18!

We are very glad that Musthafa joined our team as PhD student! Musthafa will be working on the hydrothermal synthesis of covalent organic frameworks within our FWF START project HYDROCOF. Check out Musthafa’s team member page here.

We are happy that Miriam joined our team as research assistant. Miriam will be working on hydrothermal polymerization of high-performance polymers. Check out her team member page here.
