In this episode, we talk with Urška Češarek from the Department of Polymer Chemistry and Technology at the National Institute of Chemistry about a more streamlined and efficient approach to synthesizing amino-functionalized polyethers: polymers with enhanced precision and functionality. From overcoming long-standing synthetic challenges to fine-tuning end-group chemistry, we explore how small molecular tweaks can lead to big breakthroughs in medicine and materials science.

Whether you're into polymers, precision chemistry, or just curious about how science shapes our everyday lives—this one's for you.
