Are you interested in gaining insight into polaron-based charge transport in semiconducting 2D polymers? Please check out our accepted manuscript in @angew_chem Congratulations to all the authors. @ERG_Chem @austinmevans @UFChemistry onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
Joshua Moon, Ph.D., went from watching PBS shows as a kid (and wondering why the National Science Foundation (NSF) was sponsoring them) to receiving an award from the NSF. How did that happen? Read and find out. bit.ly/4nJhxvB
Really happy to see this one out, and a big thanks to @lehothi for leading the charge! @UFChemistry @ButlerPolymer @LowDispersity Nitroarene Photoactivation Promotes Oxidative Deconstruction of Olefinic Polymers | ACS Macro Letters pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Everyone go check out @lehothi's newest paper in @ACSMacroLett!!
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…
