Abstract

From Automated Precision Polymer Synthesis to Nanoparticle Morphology Control in Continuous Flow

Tanja Junkers, Polymer Reaction Design Group, Monash University

An overview is given on the continuous flow multistep synthesis of complex macromolecules, the employment of machine learning to achieve unprecedented polymer synthesis accuracy and inline purification of polymers. Further, it will be demonstrated how continuous flow can improve nanoparticle synthesis in polymerization-induced self-assembly, and how kinetic morphology control over size and shape of nanoobjects can be achieved by flow mixing of block copolymers.
