Congratulations to Kriti Kapil on receiving the Kwolek Fellowship! 🥳🎉👩‍🔬 Her work in the Matyjaszewski Lab has discovered methods that would allow polymers to be created in less stringent conditions with less complex equipment. cmu.edu/mcs/news-event…

Read this hot new study in J. Am. Chem. Soc. featuring photo-controlled ATRP using a modified Vitamin B12 photothermal conversion catalyst! @princetonchem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Can’t believe my first, first author paper in the Stache Lab is out! So thankful for all the help I received from everyone on the paper! I loved working on this project and I can’t wait do more with photothermal conversion catalysts!

Wondering how to conduct efficient emulsion RDRP as a greener way for precise polymer synthesis? Photocatalysis under NIR light is the key! Check out the details in our most recent publication J. Am. Chem. Soc. by XiaoLei Hu , Rongguan Yin, Jaepil Jeong. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Dyes for nucleic acid staining can be utilized as a light-up photocatalyst for photo ATRP. Accepted back-to-back in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…

Exciting news!! The result of a huge endeavor by our depolymerization team, Sewon Oh and Hanning Jiang, has dropped on ChemRxiv. 🎉 Check it out below! ⬇️ doi.org/10.26434/chemr… These two never stop, so stay tuned for more discoveries to come 🤫♻️

Photothermal conversion has emerged as a method for applying high heat under irradiation. This NEW #OUTLOOK by Stache Lab explores how it has been used in synthesis and its potential use in future applications Read it here: go.acs.org/axb

We are so stoked to reveal: the Stache Lab’s very first journal cover! 🎉🎊 At the same time, we highlight our latest publication, which takes a look at novel photothermal transformations in organic synthesis. Check out the cover and our article here: pubs.acs.org/toc/acscii/cur…

A new Science Speaks interview is out today. Guest writer Hyun Suk Wang from the ETH Polymeric Materials ETH Zürich spoke with chemist Erin Stache Stache Lab Princeton University about her career & the polymer research her laboratory conducts. #Chemistry #SciComm science-speaks.com/erin-stache

Exciting news - we’re starting a podcast! Ever wonder what exactly plastics are, or why they’re so hard to recycle, but don’t know where to start? We have just the podcast for you! Coming soon to a podcast streaming service near you 🤫🎙️

Special holiday podcast up now! Take a listen while you’re traveling or relaxing! We talk about plastics that put the magic in the holidays buzzsprout.com/admin/2412255/…

Congrats to Hanning and Erik on this great work!! Special shoutout to Erik on his first ever publication!! And RIP rubber ducky.

The @Stache_Lab has discovered that a black pigment present in many plastics drives depolymerization. Their latest two papers, in ACS Publications and J. Am. Chem. Soc., showcase the potential. Congrats Hanning, Sewon, Liat, Erik, Erin! Enjoy our feature: bit.ly/3PVs4nM
