Excited to share that our teXirc project with DITF in Denkendorf and the Schwaneberg group @RWTH was founded with 1.4 million euros by the @VolkswagenSt. The project aims to develop recyclable fibers based on renewable raw materials. Want to read more?👉

Our alumni @maxibaur was awarded the Karl-Freudenberg-Preis 🏅 by the @hadw_bw for his work during his time in our group 🔬🎓 Congratulations Max! 🎉👏.Here you can find the official press release of the @UniKonstanz (in German):

We're excited to share our latest work together with the group of Lucia Caporaso @UniSalerno in @ACSPublications .We demonstrate that keto-PE materials can also be accessed using Pd(II) catalysts, enabled by precise monomer dosing⚙️.Check it out 👉

Conference time in @stadtweimar! 🎉. Sebastian and @steffenipunkt had the pleasure of participating in the #58Katalytikertreffen. Sebastian presented a poster, and Steffen had the opportunity to give a talk on ethylene/CO copolymerization! 🧪. Thank you for having us, @DECHEMA!🙌

We’re excited to welcome Rosa, Leonie & Janika to our team! 🎉Great to have you on board!.🔬Rosa will explore catalytic conversions of polyesters. 🌱Janika joins our non-persistent renewable materials taskforce. 🥷 .♻️Leonie will work on biodegradable engineering thermoplastics.

Check out our newest publication in @ACSPublications @ACSSustainable! 📄. We report on aliphatic-aromatic polyesters from waste-sourcable multiple chain lengths carboxylates and their structure-property relationships: Congrats @TaylorFNelson and Dario! 🥳.

We're excited to share our first publication of 2025! 📄 🎉 We report on irreversible deactivation pathways during the non-alternating copolymerization of ethylene and carbon monoxide. Check it out here: Congrats @OdenwaldLukas and @Lukas_Wursthorn !.

Just hot off the press, our newest publication in @MacroJrnls_ACS🖨️! We present reversibly cross-linked keto-functionalized polyethylenes, their tensile properties, and recyclability. Check it out here: Congrats, Tobi!.

@MacroJrnls_ACS.

Time to catch up on our latest publications! 🎉 We’re proud to share our newest @ACSMacroLett paper, exploring how the polyester structure influences enzymatic depolymerization rates. Check it out here:.🔗 Congratulations to all the authors involved! 👏.

Autumn has arrived in Konstanz, which means it's group photo time.📸 We proudly present you the current #MeckingGroup @UniKonstanz. To find out more about the group members check out our website: .

Small addendum to #Makro2024: A few weeks ago, Nina was awarded a poster prize in Dresden. @MakrochemGDCh Congratulations, Nina—fantastic work!

Nina, Katharina, Sebastian and Stefan attended #Makro2024 in Dresden last week. Stefan gave a talk on our research @UniKonstanz , while the others presented their work in a poster session. Thank you @MakrochemGDCh for hosting us! It was a pleasure!

After #ACSFall2024, Viola and Steffen were invited to @WineyLab in Philadelphia to talk about their work and ours. Thank you for this great opportunity. Additionally, Viola will spend the entire week at @Penn working with her cooperation partners, Ben and Maggie.
