Prof. Dr. Ivaylo Dimitrov received his Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry from the Institute of Polymers, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 2001. He has been a Professor at the same institute since 2018. His research topics include living and controlled polymerizations, block and graft copolymers, associating copolymers, polypeptides, hybrid copolymers, macromonomers, and functional polymers—their synthesis, properties, and applications in drug and gene delivery systems or as polymer membranes in fuel cells and supercapacitors.
