Conference speaker
Talk: Interfacial tailoring in cellulosic nanocomposites using well-defined polymers
Eva Malmström, Professor Coating Technology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. She earned her PhD from KTH in 1996 and after one year as a post-doctoral fellow in the group of Dr Craig Hawker at IBM Almaden Research Center she returned to KTH. In 2005 she became full professor. During 2009-2016 she was the deputy president of KTH. Since 2020 she is the Director of Wallenberg Wood Science Center
Her main research interests are the utilization of controlled polymerizations to obtain well-defined polymers, polymerization-induced self-assembly, nanocomposites and interfacial engineering, nanostructuring, encapsulation and release. She is a co-founder of Polymer Factory Sweden AB.
