DPI grant for Florian Meirer and Bert Weckhuysen


The Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI) in its DPI 2.0 Call for Proposals has granted Bert WeckhuysenFlorian Meirer and Elena Groppo (University of Turin) a joint research program entitled Multi-scale investigation of silica-supported ethylene polymerization catalysts during the early stages of the reaction.

The project aims to research polymerization catalysts in the early stages of the genesis of active sites and polymer formation by a multi-scale characterization approach under reaction conditions. The goal is to link the macroscopic physical and chemical properties with nanoscopic chemical properties.
