Prof. Dr. Klaus Müllen (Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz)
We are honored to welcome Prof. Klaus Müllen, a globally recognized pioneer in the field of polymer science and nanotechnology. Renowned for his work on the synthesis of previously inaccessible macromolecules and supramolecules, Müllen has paved the way for advances in organic electronics and materials science. He is also considered the father of the chemistry of nanographenes, two-dimensional nanomaterials with extraordinary properties. His contributions have significantly influenced the study and application of these cutting-edge materials.
In this seminar, Prof. Müllen will take you on a chemistry-driven journey through carbon nanostructures, focusing on structural perfection and a powerful two-step protocol to create 2D-graphenes from 3D-polyphenylenes. Key breakthroughs include disc-type nanographenes and graphene nanoribbons, which offer innovative solutions for electronics, energy storage, and even quantum technology.
