Stefan Bon

Bon studied chemical engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TUe) in the Netherlands, obtaining his integrated undergraduate and MSc in Chemical Engineering (ir.) in 1993. He continued to specialize in the area of polymer and colloid science, with research in nitroxide-mediated reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP), and obtained his PhD in 1998 in polymer chemistry under the supervision of Anton L. German.{{Cite Q|Q105755113|author=Bon, S. a. F.}} He worked as a postdoctoral research assistant with David M. Haddleton at the University of Warwick from spring 1998,{{Cite web|title=Haddleton research group alumni|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/chemistry/research/haddleton/haddletongroup/meetthegroup/alumni2/|access-date=2021-02-26|website=warwick.ac.uk}} and was appointed as Unilever Lecturer in polymer chemistry in January 2001.{{Cite web|title=Stefan BON|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/services/engagementgroup/brand/sandbox/kb/layouts/chemistry/people/staff-copy/stefanbon|access-date=2021-02-27|website=warwick.ac.uk}} He continues his career at the University of Warwick where he is a professor in polymer and colloid chemical engineering.

Bon pioneered nitroxide-mediated reversible-deactiviation radical emulsion polymerization.{{Cite journal|last1=Bon|first1=Stefan A.

Research themes in the BonLab are: colloid and polymer science for the environment, a mechanistic understanding of polymer and colloid synthesis and physical/mechanical behaviour, out-of-equilibrium active matter, colloidal materials for a circular economy, and colloids at interfaces: adhesion and film formation. Bon has rich experience working with a great variety of industrial collaborators on projects with applications in coatings and adhesives, personal care products, agricultural formulations, and paper.

Alongside his academic research, Bon is chair of the Polymer Club, an industrial consortium aimed at promoting research and education in polymer and colloid science.{{Cite web|title=The Polymer Club|url=http://thepolymerclub.squarespace.com/|access-date=2021-02-27|website=The Polymer Club|language=en-US}} He is the founder and host of the 2020 COVID19 international polymer colloids group webinar series.{{Cite web|title=International Polymer Colloids Group (IPCG) goes Online for 2020 Webinar Science Series|url=https://www.bonlab.info/blog/2020/3/30/international-polymer-colloids-group-ipcg-goes-online-for-2020-webinar-science-series|access-date=2021-02-27|website=BonLab|date=31 March 2020 |language=en-US}}{{Cite web|title=News {{!}} Warwick Chemistry {{!}} University of Warwick|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/chemistry/news/?tag=events|access-date=2021-02-27|website=warwick.ac.uk}} He is also a member of the physical Newton international fellowship committee.{{Cite web|title={{!}} Royal Society|url=https://royalsociety.org/about-us/committees/newton-international-fellowships-committee-physical-79/|access-date=2021-02-27|website=royalsociety.org}}
