Welcome to
Théato Research Group
My highly motivated research group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is working on the development of new synthesis methods for polymers, synthesis of functional polymers, surface chemistry, nanomaterials, and materials science. Synthetically we are utilizing numerous modern polymerization techniques in combination with post-polymerization modification techniques. With the development of a powerful synthetic toolbox, we are extending and pushing the current limits of polymer chemistry.

Polymer-based Batteries
We would like to thank the Priority Programme – Polymer-based Batteries (SPP 2248) and the German Research Foundation (DFG) for funding our project on polymers based on squaric acid amides and cyclopropenium cations as new electrode materials for energy storage: Synthesis and electrochemical characterization.


Teaching
The lectures of the summer term 2025 start on 25th of April. For the Synthetische Polymerchemie II lecture please refer to the respective ILIAS entry.
