The symposium covered a wide range of topics from sensors and theranostics to bioelectronics and drug delivery, and we were joined by many of our Nanoscale Horizons and Materials Horizons editors and community who gave some engaging talks. We would like to thank everyone that took part and joined us in Beijing for this fantastic symposium. We have selected a few of our favourite photos from the event that we would like to share.

Comments Off on Horizons Symposium: Polymers at the human interface β photo gallery. Find out more about our winners below:. Maximilian obtained his B. His research focusses on chemical doping of organic semiconducting polymers and photo electro catalysis.
He earned his B. Daniel Frisbie. He was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University under the direction of Prof. Jonathan Rivnay. At Notre Dame his lab develops organic mixed ionic-electronic conductor OMIEC materials and devices for bioelectronic, chemical sensing, and energy management applications. He has particular interests in fundamental structure-property investigations leveraging in situ and operando synchrotron X-ray studies, and the application of hysteretic transport in OMIECs to enable innovative device functionality.
Among the most significant advancements is light-based 3D printing, which utilizes photopolymerization reactions to solidify inks, offering precise spatiotemporal control over the printing process. To fully exploit the potential of 3D printing, there is growing interest in integrating advanced chemistries, such as dynamic chemistry, that enable the fabrication of functional materials capable of post-printing modifications in shape, properties, and functionality.
Most polymer-based objects created through current 3D printing techniques cannot be chemically recycled due to the chemical inertness of the materials and the irreversible polymerization processes involved.
