Alla Synytska is a group leader in the Polymer Interfaces of the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Polymer Physics at IPF Dresden. The research interests are focused on the synthesis of structured materials with tunable adhesive properties from stimuli-responsive polymer brushes, core–shell particles with various surface functionalities, shapes and architectures (Janus particles).

• Surfaces with switchable and adaptive adhesion
• Responsive particles with controlled functionalities, shapes and architectures, Janus particles
• Ultrahydrophobic surfaces
  
• Surface modification
