Title: Optimized Synthesis and Characteristics of Novel Thermoplastic Polymers for Solid Formulation. Focus: Structure-property relationships; upscaling of synthesis and purification strategies; Structure Optimization by e.g. DoE; synthesis of polymers for dissolution enhancement of poorly soluble APIs. Impurity profiling and polymer characterization by NMR, GPC, TGA, DSC, Melt rheology, GC-MS and LC-MS. Evaluation of processability by extrusion, and dissolution enhancement by HPLC, and UV-VIS.

Focus: Report and presentation of progress for internal stakeholders. Scientific project management in ProMatLeben project PolyPrint backed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, coordination of collaborations with other internal departments and external partners in industry and academia. Representation of project achievements in an interdisciplinary consortium. Sighting and evaluation of relevant patents. Coordination, planning and execution of project activities as tracked via Accolade.
