Complex Macromolecular Systems I

Axel Müller holds the Chair of Macromolecular Chemistry at the Bayreuth University, Germany. He received his academic degrees in chemistry from the University of Mainz, Germany, with G.V. Schulz. His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of well-defined polymer structures by living/controlled techniques, and he has contributed over 300 publications in polymer science. He received the IUPAC World Polymer Congress MACRO 2004 award "Distinguished Polymer Scientist". He has been coordinator of various European research networks, organizer of international meetings and he is Senior Editor of the journal "Polymer".
