Welcome to the Polymer Separation, an international research group spanning across Europe and Africa. The group was established in 2007 and joins together researchers from Stellenbosch University and Leibniz-Intitut für Polymerforschung.
We are a joint research group across Stellenbosch University and Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden with more than 15 years’ experience. Our main focus areas are interaction and size exclusion chromatography, field flow fractionation and multiple detection techniques. Through a collaborative effort that includes postgraduates, scientists and technicians alike, we study the structure-property relation of advanced macromolecular systems.
We are an international group of scientists with research facilities in Germany and South Africa.

Time out, and off to the Dresden Christmas Market- Happy holidays everyone!! 
Our IPF, Dresden team greets Thandekile, a MSc, and Michè and Chelsea, both PhD candidates, from our joint research group at Stellenbosch University. Good luck with your research visit. 
The Biennial Meeting of the Macromolecular Division of the GDCh 2024 was in Dresden! 🌍 This year’s theme, “Polymers for a Sustainable Future,” focused on innovative and sustainable materials needed for circularity and a greener future💡🌿🌱
