Abstract

The colloid and polymer science, as well as the physical chemistry communities were deeply saddened to learn about the premature death of Professor Dr. Wolfgang Peter Meier. He passed away on the 25th January 2022, after fighting relentlessly against a long illness. Wolfgang Meier was born on 9th November 1964 in Biberach, Germany, where he was educated until he went to university. He studied chemistry at the University of Freiburg (Germany), where he graduated in 1989, and was awarded a PhD in macromolecular chemistry from the same university in 1992 with a thesis on the self-organization of liquid-crystalline elastomers. In 1993 he joined the University of Basel (Switzerland), where he was appointed lecturer in Physical Chemistry in 1996 and received his “Habilitation” in 1998. In 2001, he was appointed Associate Professor at the International University of Bremen before moving back to the University of Basel as full Professor of Chemistry in 2003. His main research interests were in the fields of amphiphilic copolymer synthesis and their hierarchical self-assembly, block copolymer vesicles (so-called polymersomes), and hybrid membranes.
