Luxembourg researcher wins prestigious science prize
Bianca-Rita Pistillo received the Scientist Medal 2017 of the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM).
A researcher from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) has won a prestigious science prize for her work on polymers.
Bianca-Rita Pistillo received the Scientist Medal 2017 of the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM).
She joins a list of less than a dozen female scientists to have won the award for advanced materials.
Her research focuses on a deposition technique of conjugated polymers, organic macromolecules with interesting optical and electronic properties, and in particular on the poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT).
Pistillo developed a proprietary technique named "Plasma radicals assisted polymerization" via chemical vapour deposition (PRAP-CVD) which is an alternative to conventional vapour based techniques to deposit conjugated polymers.
