PhD student Marin Božičević attended the conference 26th International Conference on Science and Technology of Synthetic Electronic Material (ICSM2024), held in Dresden, Germany on June 23-28, with poster presentation under the title: "ATRP synthesis of stretchable and conductive
(poly(EDOT-co-ThBr)-g-PCl".
The first workshop of the project took place on June 30, 2023 at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology from 10 am to 1:30 pm. The topic of the workshop was the presentation of research work on different molecular designs and applications of controlled radical polymerizations to obtain functional polymer materials.
The workshop started with an introductory lecture by the project leader Zvonimir Katančić, in which he introduced all former and current researchers and the main research goals of the project. After him, a total of three presentations were given by PhD students of the project, L. Fiket and M. Božičević. They presented the research field of their doctoral thesis, showed the most important results, the conclusions they came to and all the difficulties and obstacles they encountered in their work. The last presentation was given by student K. Marković, who is an official member of the project, and showed how an undergraduate student can join the research group. The presentation was followed by a short discussion and those interested were able to visit the laboratory where the research is conducted.
The 28th Croatian Meeting of Chemists and Chemical Engineers (28HSKIKI) was held March 28-31 in Rovinj, Croatia. The SHaPes team was represented by Marin Božičević and Lucija Fiket, who presented two poster presentations entitled: "Synthesis and characterization of stretchable and conductive PEDOT-g-PCL copolymers for wearable electronics" and "Development of new generation of stretchable conductive polymers for wearable flexible electronics"
