Felix H. Schacher

... studied chemistry at the Universities of Bayreuth (Germany) and Lund (Sweden) and obtained his diploma in 2006. After his PhD under the supervision of Axel H. E. Müller in 2009, he joined the group of Ian Manners at the University of Bristol as DAAD postdoctoral fellow. In 2010 he was appointed Juniorprofessor at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena and became Full Professor at this institution in 2015. He has been awarded the Dr.-Hermann-Schnell-Fellowship in 2013 and the Carl-Duisberg Memorial Award of the GDCh in 2020. His scientific interests include controlled/living polymerization techniques, block copolymers, polyelectrolytes, and polyampholytes – all in the context of using (directed) self-assembly processes for material design in the fields of membranes, hybrid materials, and biomedicine.

2006 - 2009 PhD, University of Bayreuth

We are interested in the self-assembly and application of polymeric materials at different length scales from 1 nm up to several µm. This involves the synthesis and characterisation of innovative and functional polymers and block copolymers. To achieve this, we utilise different polymerisation techniques, ranging from conventional free radical to ionic methods.
