Preparation and mass spectrometry characterization of complex macromolecular architectures based on polylactide (PLA) for biomedical applications (drug delivery) - 3 months project; PhD & master student guidance Laboratory of Polymeric and Composite Materials (LPCM) of Prof. Philippe Dubois (UMons) Organic Synthesis and Mass Spectrometry Laboratory (S2MOs) of Prof. Pascal Gerbaux (UMons)
Thesis title: Towards Quantitative Macrocyclizations by Original Synthetic Approaches and Characterization Methods My four-year project was devoted to the development of controlled cyclization pathways to cyclic aliphatic polyesters (PLA and PCL) by ring-closure and ring-expansion reactions. A second aspect of my research concerned the in-depth characterization of the as-prepared macrocycles by state-of-the-art mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF, ESI-ToF, ESI-QqQ, ESI-IM-MS) Laboratory of Polymeric and Composite Materials (LPCM) of Prof. Philippe Dubois (UMons) Organic Synthesis and Mass Spectrometry Laboratory (S2MOs) of Prof. Pascal Gerbaux (UMons)
