Highly motivated diploma student sought
to work on the synthesis of block copolymers via living polymerization techniques. This diploma thesis entails a stay at the University of Marseille in their polymer chemistry department (Prof. Denis Bertin, Dr. Didier Gigmes and Dr. Cathy Lefay).

   

Enquieries most welcome
