Research Interests


His research interests include polymers for (bio)medical applications obtained by radical polymerization and controlled radical polymerization (ATRP). He has a special interest in bone cements and drug delivery systems such as star polymers. His research focuses on obtaining innovative star polymers with antibacterial and contrasting properties and modifying bone cements with them.
