DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nMacromolecular Engineering (ME) is a process compr
 ising rational design of (co)polymers with specific architecture and funct
 ionality\, followed by precise and efficient polymer synthesis and process
 ing to prepare advanced materials with target properties. Many advanced na
 nostructured functional materials were recently designed and prepared by r
 eversible deactivation radical polymerization. Copper-based ATRP (atom tra
 nsfer radical polymerization) catalytic systems with polydentate nitrogen 
 ligands are among most efficient reversible deactivation radical polymeriz
 ation systems. Recently\, by applying new initiating/catalytic systems\, C
 u level in ATRP was reduced to a few ppm. ATRP of acrylates\, methacrylate
 s\, styrenes\, acrylamides\, acrylonitrile and other vinyl monomers was co
 ntrolled by various external stimuli\, including electrical current\, ligh
 t\, mechanical forces and ultrasound\, also in the presence of air. Variou
 s copolymers\, molecular brushes\, hybrid materials and bioconjugates were
  prepared with high precision. Special emphasis will be on nanostructured 
 multifunctional hybrid materials for application related to biology\, envi
 ronment\, and energy.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nKrzysztof (Kris) Matyjaszewski is J.
 C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences and director of Center 
 for Macromolecular Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His research
  is focused on synthesis of well-defined macromolecules and hybrid materia
 ls via controlled polymerizations using radical\, and ionic mechanisms to 
 prepare advanced materials for optoelectronic\, biomedical\, environmental
  and energy-related applications. In 1994 he discovered Cu-mediated atom t
 ransfer radical polymerization\, commercialized in 2004 in US\, Japan and 
 Europe to prepare various advanced materials. He has co-authored >1\,200 p
 eer-reviewed publications\, cited >175\,000 times (h-index 203) and holds 
 66 US patents. He is a member of National Academy of Engineering\, Nationa
 l Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Inventors as well as Europea
 n\, Australian\, Polish and Hungarian Academies of Sciences. He received 2
 021 Grand Prix de la Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie\, 2017 Benjamin F
 ranklin Medal in Chemistry\, 2015 Dreyfus Prize in Chemical Sciences\, 201
 1 Wolf Prize in Chemistry\, 2009 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Aw
 ard\, as well as eleven honorary degrees.\n
