Branched polymers and Nanosystems
Research Fields:
Chemistry
Previous and Current Research
- Main field of research
Water-soluble graft copolymers (branched polymers)
- Other fields
Polymer complexes
- Current research interest
Branched polyelectrolytes
Polyelectrolyte-metal complexes
Metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles synthesized in polymer templates
Polymers as nanovectors for anticancer drug elivery
Water treatment of system containing clay/heavy metal ions using branched polymer flocculants
Group leader : Dr. Chem. Sci. Nataliya Kutsevol
Our group is interested in synthesis and characterization of water-soluble biocompatible polymers of non-linear architecture. We are focused on fundamental aspects of synthesis and characterization of branched uncharged polymers and polyelectrolytes in solution as well as stimuli responsible branched polymers and nanosystems synthesized in situ into these polymer matrices. We study the response of these complicated systems towards external stimuli ( pH, T ...) and their applications mainly in biomaterials or drug delivery fields.
The team consists of 2 researchers, 2 technicians and about 6 PhD, Bachelor and Master students.
Branched polymer matrices have various chemical nature and internal structure, higher local concentration of functional groups in comparison with their linear analogue, and they can be very efficient for designing of optimized nanocarriers-nanosystems for medical applications and for water treatment. We are working in collaboration with physicists and biologists.

A transition across the lower critical solubility temperature (LCST) causes the physical change.
Methodological and Technical Expertise
- Chemical modeling of branched polymers
- Synthesis of nanosystems into polymer matrices
- All experimental approaches for characterization of polymers of complicated internal structure and nanosystems: elastic and quasy elastic light scattering, size-exclusion chromatography, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, viscometry, potentiometric titration etc.
