In 1995, Bert joined the Eindhoven University of Technology as an assistant professor, where he was promoted to associate professor in 2002. His research is largely focused on LRP. In 1998, he came in contact with the Institute for Polymer Science at the University of Stellenbosch. From that time onwards, he was involved in the supervision of MSc and PhD students and visited Stellenbosch 2-3 times per year. In 2006, he was among the first 20 scientists who were awarded a South African Research Chair by the National Research Foundation and the Department of Science and Technology. In 2007, he received an A-rating from the NRF. In the framework of his Research Chair on Advanced Macromolecular Architectures, Bert is in the process of expanding the scope of his research toward biomedical applications. In 2008, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa, and in 2009, he received the Rector s Award for Excellent Research at Stellenbosch University. From July 2009 onwards, he has been one of the editors of Elsevier s European Polymer Journal.

Martin Brehmer studied chemistry in Dtisseldorf. He finished his PhD in Mainz (1995) supervised by Prof. Zentel. As a postdoc he joined the group of Prof Ober at Cornell University (1995) and the Philips Research Lab in Eindhoven (1996-97). From 1998 to 1999 he worked in Wuppertal. Since 2000, he has been in Mainz at the Institute of Oi anic Chemistry. His research interests are polymers at surfaces and mesoscopic systems.
