Dr. Marcos Gomez joined BASF Venture Capital GmbH in June 2005.
Since July 2005 he is responsible for the scouting activities in North America of BASF Future Business GmbH, which are conducted by BASF Venture Capital Inc. in Santa Barbara. In 1999 he joined BASF AG‘s polymer research in Ludwigshafen as Laboratory Director within the solution polymers department. From 2001 till 2005, he was in charge of the global co-ordination of BASF R&D Cooperations in the department university relations and research planning. Before joining BASF Marcos was a postdoctoral research fellow at the ETH Zürich with Prof. François Diederich. His research has appeared in more than 20 scientific publications. Marcos studied Chemistry with focus on Organic Chemistry from 1988 to 1993 at the University of Basque Country.
Education
In 1997 he received a PhD from the University of Birmingham (UK) under the supervision of Prof. Fraser Stoddart in the area of Supramolecular Chemistry.

Reflecting the exceptional growth in recent years in the use of nanostructured materials for an increasing range of industrial applications, Polymer Nanocomposites Handbook comprehensively covers the synthesis of both nanomaterials that act as the building blocks of polymer nanocomposites as well as polymers that act as matrix materials. It examines molecular precursors and related challenges for large-scale manufacturing. It describes current processing techniques and the difficulty to obtain good dispersion. Discussing future applications in civilian and defense-related fields, it also presents methods to characterize the bulk and interfacial structure of polymer nanocomposites.
Micro- and Nanostructured Multiphase Polymer Blend Systems: Phase Morphology and Interfaces focuses on the formation of phase morphology in polymer blends and copolymers and considers various types of blends including thermosets, thermoplastics, thermoplastic vulcanizates, and structured copolymers. The book carefully debates the processing, rheology, and crystallization aspects of the phase morphology of polymer blends. The text surveys theory, characterization, processing, and experimental aspects of phase morphology development and design of polymer blends. It examines the adhesion of polymer-polymer interfaces in immiscible polymer blends and the different ways by which nanostructures may be generated in thermosetting polymers. The book analyzes the polymerization process and the dynamic vulcanization of multicomponent polymer blends and the crystallization behavior occurring in blends with a confined morphology. It also discusses the structure-rheology relationship in
compatibilized blends, the effects of elasticity on the structure development, and the rheological response in concentrated blends. Micro- and Nanostructured Multiphase Polymer Blend Systems examines the current state of the art, challenges, and future prospects in the field of polymer blends. The handpicked selection of topics and expert contributors makes this survey of phase morphology in polymer blends an outstanding resource for anyone involved in the field of polymer materials design.
