Athina Anastasaki

[citation needed] Anastasaki joined the Department of Materials at ETH Zurich in 2019.

[6][7] Anastasaki developed a new approach to control the disparity of polymeric materials that preserved the ends of polymer chains.

[8] This strategy, which involved a switchable RAFT (Reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer) agent, permits the synthesis of complex, multi-block polymers.

[9][8] She has also shown it is possible to regenerate the monomors of Plexiglass (poly(methyl methacrylate)) up to a 90% yield.

[8][10] Anastasaki wrote a perspective on applying for a European Research Council Starting Grant for Angewandte Chemie.
