APME 2019 in Stellenbosch (South Africa)
2019/04/15
The 13th International Conference on “Advanced Polymers via Macromolecular Engineering” was held in Stellenbosch (South Africa) from April 15-18, 2019. This year's conference focused on reaction engineering for macromolecules and the design of complex polymer structures and their analysis.
Our working group was represented by Prof. Busch, Julia Eigenseer (lecture), Paul Peikert (lecture), Elisabeth Schulz (poster) and Maria Dernbach (poster). In addition, Kristina Pflug, who has been a post-doc at the University of Hamburg since the end of last year, presented the results of her dissertation and was awarded the “Wiley Presentation Prize” for the best lecture.
- Julia Eigenseer, M.Sc.: “Impact of Short-Chain Branches onto Polymer Properties on Micro- and Macro-Scale” (lecture)
- Paul Peikert, M.Sc.: “Stochastic Modelling of the Branching Structure of LDPE and its Impact on Polymer Properties” (lecture)
- Kristina Pflug, Dr.: “Closing the Circle of Microstructure and Polymer Properties for Polyethylene via a Combined Analytical and Modelling Approach” (lecture)
- Elisabeth Schulz, M.Sc.: “Specific Refractive Index Increments of EVA-Copolymers” (Pposter)
- Maria Dernbach, M.Sc.: “Modeling of Metallocene-Catalyzed Homo- and Copolymerization of Ethene” (poster)
