For the chemists out there, this research started in the early 2000's as one of my job proposals. It only took 20 'short' years to get it to market! Kudos to Zengquan Qin from @TheCoatesCrew who discovered the catalyst, and Scott Allen and the Novomer folks for their hard work.

The hottest new reprocessable polyolefin thermoset dropped. @ElizaNeidhart with an absolute barnburner of a report in @J_A_C_S working with an all-star cast comprising of @UNC Sheiko group, Prof. Alexanian, @Frank_Leibfarth , @ORNL , @LBNLresearch , @GroupHelms & Mutian Hua.

Honored and excited to serve POLY and the polymer community!

SMLQC-2023 was a huge success. Thank you Roland, @PavloDral, Chao, and Ignacio for organizing such a great meeting! We are waiting you for the next one in Knoxville @CHEMISTRYUTK @ArtsSciencesUT

The ACS Division of Polymer Science (POLY) wants your input! We welcome all members and prospective members to take a quick <1-minute survey 💬🗣️ Your views matters, whether you're a student, faculty, or industry rep, to make an impact! 👥🧪💡 📋👉Link: bit.ly/POLY1minsurvey

In my polymer course, I teach that atactic polymers are usually amorphous, and isotactic and syndiotactic polymers are usually semicrystalline with different crystal structures. Methylated PHBs are all crystalline and isomorphic regardless of tacticity! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Looking forward to this!

Our latest publication on the synthesis of sequence controlled PLGA. Awesome job by @YiyeLu on this paper! 🥳

RSC Applied Polymers has published its first issue! All articles are free to read, we are sure you will enjoy them! pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/jo… #polymers #OpenAccess

Absolutely ecstatic to be included in the first issue (and cover!) of this exciting journal!

I hope some of these amazing people apply to the (just posted) tenure-track position in polymer chemistry @UFChemistry explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5286…

Happy to share my fist @ORNL production about precise polymer functionalization. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

So happy for my former advisor and mentor! @USM_Polymers

@DrTodd_Hudnall I wish we could make it open rank also, but this year's open area search is only at the Assistant Prof level

@BLongLab Any chance for open rank?

UTK Chemistry is hiring two tenure-track positions, one in analytical and the other open area!!!!!!!!!!!! See below for more info and links.

This Friday (Sept 15), please check out the iCANx talk by Prof. Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh, a world leading liquid metal researcher. @iCANX_Talks @K_KalantarZadeh wx.vzan.com/live/page/1726…

5th year @cole_soryy back at it again in @ACSCatalysis with a thermodynamic stereocontrolled vinyl polymerization featuring all-star undergrads @vb_027 and Anthony Bello! #carbaCole pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

A meeting on my favorite topic in my favorite city - registration is open!
