It’s the start of #VTChem Graduate Program Week! Here’s what we’ve got planned: Tuesday (tomorrow): Intro to our program and application📌 Wednesday + Thursday: Intro to our faculty and research🧑‍🏫🧪 Friday: Life in the ‘Burg! 🌄 Be sure to check back in to learn more!

It’s Day 1 of #VTChem’s Graduate Program Week! Today we’ll be sharing about our program and hopefully get you one step closer to submitting your application.

As we bring our #VTChem Graduate Program Week to a close, we'd like to invite you to our upcoming virtual information session on Wednesday, November 16. We'll discuss program basics, timeline, application tips, and have a Q&A. We hope to see you there!

#Hokies in Virginia Tech Science have found a new way to upcycle styrofoam that supports the cosmetic, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries by creating reaction conditions that transform these hard-to-recycle plastics into useful monomers. ♻️

Excited to be chairing the Gordon Research Conference on Adhesion this summer (23-28 July). We have an incredible line-up of invited speakers (below). The application is open now; poster submissions are encouraged from all! Please retweet to spread the word.

Did you know that electric vehicle battery cells can be as small as those in your watch? 🤔 Virginia Tech Science #Hokies are researching electric vehicle batteries & their cycle life, low-temperature performance, & fast-charging capabilities to determine how to improve them. 🚗

A few of our members teamed up with ASU's POLY/PMSE chapter to do a short demonstration on packing peanuts, recycling, and sustainable polymer science. Check it out! youtu.be/t-SaetgxT1M #acspoly #acspmse #polymerdemoaward

Congrats to the winner of the 2023 PMSE Graduate Student Travel Award, Erin Crater of Virginia Tech. #ACSSpring2023 #Polymer #Award #Student Virginia Tech

In February, nearly 90 participants joined us for our first-ever Polymer Sustainability Workshop to share their knowledge and expertise! Read the story here: vtx.vt.edu/articles/2023/…

Polymers are everywhere, and our #Hokies are taking a closer look. 🔬 In their final capstone before graduating, our chemistry seniors get real-life experience in the labs tackling the replication of original research articles in individual projects.

DYK health care is one of the largest waste-producing sectors in the U.S.? Virginia Tech Engineering researchers aim to tackle this problem. They won a grant to develop biodegradable materials to eventually displace plastics used in health care facilities. ➡️vtx.vt.edu/articles/2023/…
