Engineering Polymer Materials

Welcome

to the official website of the Mommer Research Group! We are an interdisciplinary research group combining various disciplines such as organic, polymer, and supramolecular chemistry as well as material sciences to create new innovative polymeric materials.

The Mommer Research Group is a newly founded research team headed by Dr. Stefan Mommer. We are a team of young individuals tackling scientific challenges in the area of (soft) polymer materials. Currently based in the Department of Mechanical & Process Engineering of ETH Zurich, we are hosted by the Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory (headed by Prof. Dr. Mark W. Tibbitt).

To find out more about our research, we encourage you to check out the Research section or visit the Publications page.
