We develop polymeric materials with enhanced physical properties and function.

In the May issue of #JCE #JChemEd (go.acs.org/9l5), a new article discusses a hands-on activity designed to illustrate the sorting process for recycled waste and how important this is to sustainability: go.acs.org/9l6 #supplementarycovers




[PMSE 100] In 1924 at the 67th ACS National Meeting, the Paint and Varnish Section (a.k.a. PMSE) held our first symposium on paint and varnish chemistry. Join US for our Centennial Celebration at the 267th ACS meeting in New Orleans, LA. #PMSE100 #polymer tinyurl.com/PMSEcentennial

We are hiring *two* tenure-track faculty in (1) biomolecular engineering and (2) sustainable chemicals and energy (with focus on polymer circularity)! See chee.uh.edu/about/open-pos… for details.




The University of Houston has earned a landmark $63.5M contract from the U.S. Department of Defense, working to advance future Army decision-making technologies. This is the largest contract or grant ever awarded to UH. uh.edu/news-events/st…

Congratulations to Megan Robertson! She is the project director for a new $4 million grant from the Welch Foundation that aims to improve the ability to recycle plastics. For more information, read the story on our website: egr.uh.edu/news/202309/uh…


Sustainable Polymers 2023 Accepting poster submissions only - Deadline is August 30, 2023 polyacs.net/23spabstracts #sustainablepolymers23 #polyworkshop #networkwithpoly

$4 million Welch Foundation grant to Dr. Megan Robertson of Chemical Engineering for developing new chemical paradigms for transforming plastic waste. Congratulations!!

Join us for the @POLY_ACS workshop on Sustainable Polymers, with topics in polymers from renewable feedstocks and using biocatalysts; renewable blends, copolymers, composites; end-of-life behavior; industrial challenges in implementing green materials; LCA/TEA; and more!














PMSE Community: Save the date! We will celebrate PMSE's 100th year at the Spring 2024 meeting. Nominate students and postdocs to present in the "PMSE Centennial: Future Leaders of Polymeric Science and Engineering" symposium. Deadline: 7/24. pmsedivision.org/pmse100_nomina… #PMSE100
