The Chen Research Group Colorado State University and BOTTLE have developed full circular and melt processable PHAs in our recent Science Magazine publication led by Li Zhou! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We (@DevavratSathe, Junfeng Zhou 周俊峰 and Hanlin) put together this Video Article to demo the synthesis and testing of our depolymerizable ROMP polymers: jove.com/t/64182. Hope it is helpful to the scientific community and the general public.

Congrats, Jia and Lianqian! Great to see this amazing work published online! We had fun playing with your polymers!

Mechanochemical Degradation and Recycling of Synthetic Polymers (Junpeng Wang and co-workers) The University of Akron #AngewandteReview #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Excited to share our Minireview on mechanochemical degradation and recycling of synthetic polymers, including both commercial polymers and newly designed ones, Junfeng Zhou 周俊峰, Tze-Gang, and I had fun putting it together.

First PhD student from the group, Dr. Tze-Gang Hsu!!!

Very excited to share our latest research J. Am. Chem. Soc.. C-C bond formation via pinacol coupling is made by applying a plasma-liquid process that generates highly reducing solvated electrons. Big thank to Jeff Jeffrey S. Moore, Mohan and all the collaborators! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

New MONET publication in Science! Cyclobutane-based mechanophore cross-linkers that break through force-triggered cycloreversion lead to networks that are up to nine times as tough as conventional analogs. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

My group Purdue Chemistry likes to have a synthetic chemist with an open mind to work on semiconducting polymers as a postdoc fellow. Please email me directly with a research summary on your synthetic expertise. Check jianguomei.com for our group. Please help spread!

Congratulations to Dr. Devavrat Sathe Devavrat Sathe, the second PhD from the group! Still remember how excited we were when we found those ROMP polymers depolymerized as predicted! Your intellectual maturity, versatile skill set, and open mind will serve you well.

Thanks to Polymer Chemistry for publishing and highlighting our work! I am honored for the recognition of the Polymer Chemistry Emerging Investigator.

Congratulations Shu Shu Wang 王澍🎊🍾️!!!

Two in two days! Photocatalytic Upcycling and Depolymerization of Vinyl Polymers Angewandte Chemie! This Mini-review discusses light-catalyzed strategies to deconstruct vinyl polymers. Congrats Kostas Parkatzidis Hyun Suk Wang Athina Anastasaki! ETH Department of Materials ETH Zurich onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Our latest paper on “High Molar Mass Polycarbonates as Closed-Loop Recyclable Thermoplastics” is now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! A huge congratulations to Gloria Rosetto, Fernando Vidal, Thom and Ryan Kerr 🥳 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Day 2 of our symposium (Wed) features advances in silicones, aziridines, and a whole lotta ROMP. Come check it out!

Thanks The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation for this incredible recognition! It is a humbling experience for me. Thank all current and past group members for their hard work that makes this possible.

In this massive team effort published in Chemical Reviews, we discuss how olefin metathesis has been applied to the development of new chemically recyclable polymers and the deconstruction of commercial polymers: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…. A great learning experience for us!

Very pleased to see our recent work on chemical recycling of unsaturated polymers highlighted by ⁦Phys.org⁩ phys.org/news/2024-07-m…

So glad this work is out!
