Welcome to the Polymer Separation, an international research group spanning across Europe and Africa. The group was established in 2007 and joins together researchers from Stellenbosch University and Leibniz-Intitut für Polymerforschung.
We are a joint research group across Stellenbosch University and Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden with more than 15 years’ experience. Our main focus areas are interaction and size exclusion chromatography, field flow fractionation and multiple detection techniques. Through a collaborative effort that includes postgraduates, scientists and technicians alike, we study the structure-property relation of advanced macromolecular systems.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” – An African Proverb
We are an international group of scientists with research facilities in Germany and South Africa.
The group took some time out of the laboratories to refresh over a short hiking trip.
Welcome to Dresden! From L-R Jayalakshimi and Laura (from TU Dresden 🇩🇪), Sihlumile (from Stellenbosch University 🇿🇦) and Anelia (from Sofia University 🇧🇬).
Welcome Lyndon, an awardee of the AvH Georg Forster Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers. He commenced his research at the IPF Dresden, working on drug delivery systems for anticancer therapies.
