Description:
Christian Pietsch was born in 1984 in Naumburg/Saale (Germany) and studied chemistry at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (Germany; 2003-2008) and accomplished his master thesis at the Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands) under the supervision of Prof. Ulrich S. Schubert. He continued as a PhD student in Jena working on stimuli-responsive copolymers as well as living radical polymerization techniques. During his PhD time, he spent two months at CSIRO (Melbourne, Australia), where he carried out research on RAFT polymerizations. Recently he submitted his PhD Thesis submitted titled as ''Design of Functional Polymer Architectures by RAFT Polymerization'' under the supervision of Prof. Ulrich S. Schubert. Since June 2013 he started a postdoctoral training with Prof. Felix Schacher working on stimuli-responsive membranes and block copolymer systems.Research:
Funding: BMBF Biotechnologie 2020+External link
"Robuste Membranen aus BlockcopolymerenExternal link"
His research efforts focus on the design and characterization of new asymmetric membrane structures from amphiphilic diblock copolymers via non-solvent induced phase separation processes (NIPS). Here, the hydrophobic block acts as matrix and the hydrophilic segment forms a stimuli-responsive layer to vary e.g. the pore size.
He is also interested in membrane morphology characterization via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and water-flux measurements. Further, he prepares novel macromolecular materials based on block copolymers, including the synthesis of novel hydrophilic/hydrophobic diblock copolymers exhibiting stimuli-responsive behavior. As synthetic tool controlled radical polymerization techniques like atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization are used.Publications:

Robert was born in Potsdam in 1986 and soon moved to Bernburg, a small town in Saxony-Anhalt, where he grew up. During his school years his interest in chemistry aroused. So after passing his A-levels in 2006 he started studying Chemistry in Jena. Besides chemistry he likes to play badminton and cook with friends.Functionalized PEO-based block copolymers
We are interested in the synthesis of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(furfuryl glycidyl ether) (PEO-b-PFGE) block copolymers of different molar mass and weight fractions. The furfuryl functionality allows Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions for crosslinking and further functionalization. Differences in morphology are investigated using several techniques such as small and wide angle X-ray scattering or transmission electron microscopy in bulk films. One straightforward applications of such materials are robust, nanostructured and reversibly crosslinkable coatings. -

Fe3O4@Polymer hybrid particles
The application of nanoparticles into biological systems leads to the formation of a protein corona, which influences the biocompatibility and interaction of the particles with the surrounding environment. The influence of surface charges on the corona formation will be investigated. By deprotection of the functional groups of poly(2-tert-butoxy-carbonylaminomethylacrylate) (PtBAMA), polycationic (poly(amino methylacrylate), PAAMe), polyanionic (poly(tert-butoxycarbonylaminoacrylic acid), PtBAA) or even polyzwitterionic materials (polydehydroalanine, PDhA) can be obtained.These materials are then used to coat the Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The influence of the different charges and molar masses on the corona formation will be determined.

Sierka, examining the solubility of different dyes in block copolymer micelles both experimentally and theoretically. Besides scinece, she enjoys hiking, climbing, Skating, and alpine winter sports.
Research:
Theoretical and experimental approaches to examine and characterize the loading behaviour of block copolymer micelles with dyes of different solvophobicity are used and correlated. In detail, we will apply Molecule Dynamics and Dissipatice Particle Dynamics Methods for the theoretical approach together with the software Materials Studios. Experimentally, we will synthesize poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(lactic acid) (PEO-b-PLA) diblock copolymers of different molar masses. Micelles of these polymers are formed in water as selective solvent for the PEO block and loaded with the dyes Indigotine, Nile red, and Pyrene. Systems like those are of interest for medical applications, whereas our Focus lies on the comparison between theoretical and experimental results.
