Congratulations to @lehothi for his recent publication in ACS Macro Letters! Grateful to be a part of this work wherein polyolefins are photochemically degraded using straightforward, mild, and cost-effective additives. @ACSPublications @LowDispersity pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our paper hot off the press! One of my last (co)1st author papers from postdoc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our storied return to @ChemicalScience this year is out now! Former visiting student #Kris and team developed a one-step, light-mediated approach for the formation of polyelectrolyte complex films! @Brent_Sumerlin @VISTEC_Thailand pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Happy to be working together on degradable bottlebrushes with this talented first-year PhD student, @ILevkovsky, and excited to see our first paper out from the @MatyPolymerLab! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

In this work, we demonstrate that depolymerization has utility beyond polymer recycling by "sculpting" molecular weight distribution, enabling reprogrammable viscoelasticity and encryption of data. @UFChemistry @ACSPublications @LowDispersity pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

A straightforward method for achieving modular polyimine vitrimers from partially bioderived polystyrene copolymers/crosslinkers. A special thank you to a slew of talented undergraduate (and highschool!) mentees for all their hard work on this project. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to graduate student, #JoshMarquez for completing his candidacy exam with flying colors! We are excited to see the great science he’ll do as a PhD candidate.

Super stoked to have been a small part of this super cool paper on FP patterning just published in @Nature. Huge congrats to the team and especially Justine for exceptional work! @Mechanophore @BeckmanIllinois Press Release beckman.illinois.edu/about/news/art… Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Cope harder. Congrats! @JaredIBowman pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Some really cool predictive FROMP modeling. Was a fun project to be apart of! Check it out! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Has anyone ever wished they could degrade specific sections of a polymer on demand? Probably not, but we did it anyway - Check out Phuong's work on remote-controlled polymer degradation in @ChemSci. Enabled by @QUTmaterials and @ANSTO ! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Thrilled to announce our latest research-integrating squaramide into supramolecular cross-linked polymers! @MacroJrnls_ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… A massive shoutout to the incredible team for making this happen.@KA_Stew @Brent_Sumerlin @LowDispersity @UFChemistry

Huey Lewis said it best: It's hip to be square. Great work led by @Konar_Deb showcasing how primary chain squaramide units can be leveraged to form supramolecular polymer networks through intermolecular hydrogen bonding. @Brent_Sumerlin @ACSMacroLett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

In our new manuscript @ACSPublications, we resolve the topography of nucleic acid-collagen complexes down to the nanoscale using #AFM and explore the effect of single-stranded DNA to collagen’s native properties and structure! 📖 Read here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to have been a part of this cool work pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Excellent work led by @LuccaTrachsel showcasing the broad utility of novel vinyl monomers bearing pendent triketones - amines (of many flavors) dont stand a chance when these are around. Thankful to be a part of this! @Brent_Sumerlin @Konar_Deb @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Read our latest #research on the material interaction between single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides and collagen, published with @SpringerNature in the Regenerative Engineering and Translational Medicine Journal! 🔗 rdcu.be/dJiw4 (PDF) 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.100… (Web)

My final paper from the Tirrell lab on star PECs is finally online! This one is special to me, as it is my first time as co-corresponding author and was chosen for ACS Editors Choice. Huge thanks to everyone at @MacroJrnls_ACS and @ACSPublications! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Check out our recent publication in @J_A_C_S. Decoupling FROMP and ROMP rates, an accessible and quantitative method for inferred gel point, increasing front rates by x5, and printing. @Mechanophore @rhewoldt @MooreGroupUIUC @ChemistryUIUC @BeckmanInst pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
