The group of Prof. Blasco at the University of Heidelberg are experienced in the design and synthesis of new polymer-based functional materials with applications in 3D/4D micro- and nano-printing. Prof. Blasco’s research includes the development of new functional inks that enable 3D printed materials with e.g. responsivity (e.g. light or temperature), controlled erasability, molecular control and nano-ordered structure. The group is located at the Institute for Molecular Systems and Engineering for Advanced Materials in Heidelberg and has access to laboratories with state-of-the-art facilities and 3D printing technologies. Within Polina, we will work on the establishments of 3D photolithographic methodologies using novel light-sensitive poly(amino acid) materials.
