Crystallinity uncommon for polymer networks - especially when they are densly crosslinked and not elastomeric. Check out how we can literally "trap" the liquid crystallinity of liquid formulations in photocrosslinked networks. Fantastic work from Michael Göschl: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What research practices are truly open and FAIR? Thanks Livia Beck and Christiane Stork (Technische Universität Wien Center for Research Data Management) for the interview and sincere interest in the researchers' experience! Read about it: www.tuwien.at/tu-wien/aktu... @chemistry-tuw.bsky.social

Halloween vibes in our lab! We love our personal protective equipment :)

Ich bin schon lange #ScienceBusters Fan - dass ich nun Gast bei Martin Puntigam und Peter Weinberger im Podcast war, ist eines meiner persönliches Highlights dieses Jahr!

🧩A TU Wien team led by @k-ehrmann.bsky.social developed 3D-printed materials that change their properties with temperature – even revealing hidden QR codes. Now published in Nature Communications (@natureportfolio.nature.com) : www.nature.com/articles/s41... #3DPrinting #chemistry_tuw #TUWien

Discover the latest issue of RSC Applied Polymers featuring this cover article by @k-ehrmann.bsky.social et al. on 'Thermoplastic-like mechanical performance of heterogeneous photopolymers for additive manufacturing with tailored hyperbranched rubbers' doi.org/10.1039/D5LP...

Our Hot Article is now complimented by some nice Cover Art: Front cover - RSC Applied Polymers (RSC Publishing) share.google/V9m8KLQCHbH7... Check out the research behind these false-colour SEM-images here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Recently, @vmusil.bsky.social had a phenomenal week, getting not only one, but two (!!) first author papers accepted 🥳 Check out our new synthesis strategy for rubbery macromonomers and the resulting phenomenal microstructured 3D printed photopolymers! 🧵👇 @chemistry-tuw.bsky.social @tuwien.at

🧪“I design materials from molecular building blocks to real-world properties.” - @k-ehrmann.bsky.social, head of Additive Manufacturing. Interdisciplinary work with mechanical engineering enables advanced 3D printing. ⚙️What fascinates you about chemistry? #chemistry_tuw youtube.com/shorts/IQ1DX...

Did you know that trioxanes are acidically degradable? We have used this motif for the first time in polymers to make and break 3D printable photopolymer networks on demand with light. Check out the early version here, published #openacess thanks to TU Wien Bibliothek: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Congratulations to our latest Dr.techn, wonderfully creative and hard-working Florian Mayer! It's been my plesure to work with you and you will be dearly missed. Some of Florian's work on dual-cure/degradation systems published and underway: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

We'll have a wonderful team at Kids University Vienna again, demonstration the inner workings of 3D printers in a hands-on workshop 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬🧋🐻💡 kinderuni.at "Der 3D Druck und seine Materialien" - Kurs 515 07.07.2025 09:30 - 12:30 | 10-12 Jahre

Great reflection - and only two-bite-sized 😉

Congrats to Selina for the best presentation award at BYPoS - a well-deserved recognition for all your hard work in the lab during your Diploma thesis on new star-shaped monomers for 3D printing! @chemistry-tuw.bsky.social

Thank you Materials Horizon Royal Society of Chemistry for the highlight! It's been fun to reflect on how my research interests have evolved and I look forward to reading this like a time capsule every 5-10 years and see which answers change and how! 👩‍🔬🏊‍♀️👩‍🎨 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Looking forward to making gummibears with 300+ potential future scientists next week - and this periodic graph will be nice for the highschool age group! Curious about our other food-themed experiments? Check out the program here: www.tuwien.at/tch/mitmachl...

It's FINALLY out! We introduce MonoLISA, a new 3D printer using monochromatic light between 210 and 2400 nm, and a first photoresin to print degradable and non-degradable materials with two colours of light! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Time to focus and reflect on teaching methods today - including my favourite Austrian snack!! 😍

Reading recommendation of @polykonkol.bsky.social and @polymerreaction.bsky.social's latest work: Temperature matters in photopolymerization! Thanks for spreading the word and giving this message a stage 👍

Here's my first go at bringing together everyone who does polymers + 3D printing! Polymer chemistry, rheology, characterization, devices, etc. All are welcome! Let me know if you want to be added to it #chemsky

An alle Lehrer*innen im wiener Umfeld: Kommt zur Jubiläumsfeier und erlebt die Magie (... oder doch einfach nur Naturgesetze?!) im 💫Mitmachlabor💥!👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬 Infos und Anmeldung auf unserer Website: www.tuwien.at/tch/mitmachl...

Thanks for the feature, @chemistry-tuw.bsky.social ! I cannot wait to explore all of that referenced chemistry further and share it with you😃🤓👩‍🔬

It's been more difficult than usual to leave the office due to the group's surprise-decoration of our office - but now on to a little break after a wonderful 2024! Thanks to the best Team, colleagues, collaborators, friends and family!

...can you guess my favourite?! I'll admit I would have voted for >1 if I could have!

Grateful for the wonderful recognition, which I dedicate to the Additive Manufacturing Team: Our research on materials from and for 3D printing works - like the printer itself - only when every single part works well and the parts cooperate! 💫 Thank you Family Fehrer for your dedication!

Have you been wanting to #3Dprint materials with late gel-points but were too impatient with the long printing times? Our dual-cure printing technique recently published in #MaterialsHorizons may be the answer: doi.org/10.1039/D4MH... Phenomenal work by PhD student Florian Mayer! #MatSky #ChemSky

Interesting study commissioned by Austrian basic research funding agency @fwf-at.bsky.social Fundamental research pays off for society and economy SHORT term-In German but I bet AI can translate it for you I'm curious: Did other countries' funding agencies ask similar questions/find similar answers?

New platform 🦋 old me 🤓 Happy to see many familiar profiles here and to discover new ones. Let's keep the skies blue🌤 with science, cameradery and productive discussions from different viewpoints 🌍🌎🌏 Some fun facts about myself and viewpoints for discussion: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
