Prof. Cristina Pozo-Gonzalo returns to DEAKIN 

07/11/2024

Following her previous secondment earlier this year, Cristina Pozo-Gonzalo from ICB-CSIC (Spain) is back at DEAKIN University this month. This time to focus on the electrochemistry and physical properties of new borates salts in organic media. 

Home, sweet home

24/10/2024

Antonela Gallastegui, a Postdoctoral Candidate at POLYMAT-UPV/EHU (Spain), is happy to be back to CONICET-Universidad de Rio Cuarto in Argentina, where she is originally from.
Antonella (centre) is depicted here with Gonzalo Cagnetta and Emilia Zambroni, former IONBIKE project secondees,  whom she spent time with in 2022 and 2023 during their secondments at POLYMAT, Spain.

During her stay, Antonela will be developing bio-based poly(ionic liquid)s from deep eutectic monomers for healing applications.

IONBIKE secondees’ reunion at Universidad de Rio Cuarto

18/10/2024

Tijs Lap, a final year Doctoral Candidate at POLYMAT-UPV/EHU (Spain), is currently spending six weeks at CONICET-Universidad de Rio Cuarto in Argentina. 
Tijs is delighted to meet again with former IONBIKE project secondees Gonzalo Cagnetta, Emilia Zambroni and Rocío N. Abalos whom he spent time with in 2022 and 2023 during their secondments at POLYMAT, Spain.

Yuliana Pairetti visits CONICET-Universidad de Rio Cuarto

02/09/2024

Yuliana Pairetti, a Doctoral Candidate at POLYMAT-UPV/EHU (Spain), is spending a month research stay at CONICET-Universidad de Rio Cuarto     in Argentina. During her visit, she is carrying out additional characterisations of protic ionic polymer membranes, which were synthesized at her home institution. These membranes are intended for applications in the energy sector, and her work aims to further refine their properties and enhance their potential for energy-related technologies.

POLYMAT welcomes Emmanuel Odella

14/08/2024

Emmanuel Odella, a Posdoctoral Candidate at Universidad de Rio Cuarto-CONICET (Argentina), is currently in Spain for a 5-month stay at University of the Basque Country-POLYMAT. He is researching the development of conjugated polymer nanoparticles for 3D printing applications, as well as the synthesis of new eutectogels.

Rajat Rai visits University of Cambridge

14/06/2024

Rajat Rai, a Doctoral Candidate at UPV/EHU-POLYMAT (Spain), is currently at University of Cambridge (UK) for a 3-month stay. He is researching the application of PEDOT/Biopolymer dispersion in the field of (bio)electronics. His aim is to make electrodes out of this material for electrophysiological measurements, specifically with muscle tissue, as well as in neural implants for neural mapping.
