From Left to Right: Ann-Christine Albertsson, Richard Hoogenboom, Marc Hillmyer and Timothy Lodge.European Polymer Journal Editor Professor Richard Hoogenboom was awarded a 2017 Biomacromolecules/Macromolecules Young Investigator Award at ACS Fall in recognition of his outstanding contributions in development of adaptive and responsive materials inspired by natural self-assembly processes.
Richard’s work has significantly advanced poly(2-oxazoline)s as next generation biomaterials while his work on adaptive and responsive polymers led to novel sensing and drug delivery concepts and provided novel insights on kinetic control over supramolecular polymer systems.
Richard is a Professor at Ghent University and also serves as an Editor on European Polymer Journal and a Board Member on Reactive and Functional Polymers and Materials Today Chemistry.
Elsevier and the Editors of the European Polymer Journal warmly congratulate Richard on this achievement!
