Magdalena Jankowska has become a first-year PhD student at the School of Doctoral Studies (discipline: Chemical Engineering). The topic of her PhD thesis is "Living photopolymerisation as an innovative solution in 3D printing". The research plan deals with application issues extended with cognitive aspects concerning the development of new high performance photoinitiator-catalyst systems (PICs) demonstrating versatility of performance by being able to photochemically initiate all types of standard photopolymerization processes such as cationic photopolymerization (CP), free-radical polymerization (FRP), thiol-ene photopolymerization and hybrid photopolymerization. Furthermore, the developed PICs will be applicable to modern light-initiated polymerisation processes such as controlled radical photopolymerisation (photo-CRP).
