This lecture will exhibit the impact research opportunities at the IBM Almaden Research Center can have for an academic career. The work on the interface of polymer chemistry and materials science has been fundamental to design polymer based systems that are prepared from tailored building blocks to be then transformed into defined nano- or microsized structures. Controlled crosslinking reactions have been developed to produce precise nanosized materials as crucial additives in the production of low-dielectric constant materials at IBM and inspired nanoparticles from two component crosslinking reactions for applications in biomedical engineering. Furthermore, the combination of linear and semibranched building blocks has been applied in the use as dual drug delivery matrices in which light induced crosslinking and oxime chemistry one of the factors for injectable and implantable materials.
