So sad to hear about this tragic news. Here is a pic from the last time i got to hang out with Jeff (macro conference, summer 22). You will be missed, my friend.

A meeting on my favorite topic in my favorite city - registration is open!

5th year Cole Sorensen back at it again in ACS Catalysis with a thermodynamic stereocontrolled vinyl polymerization featuring all-star undergrads Vittal and Anthony Bello! #carbaCole pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

UTK Chemistry is hiring two tenure-track positions, one in analytical and the other open area!!!!!!!!!!!! See below for more info and links.

This Friday (Sept 15), please check out the iCANx talk by Prof. Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh, a world leading liquid metal researcher. iCANX Talks Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh wx.vzan.com/live/page/1726…

So happy for my former advisor and mentor! USM Polymer Science & Engineering

Happy to share my fist Oak Ridge Lab production about precise polymer functionalization. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

RSC Applied Polymers has published its first issue! All articles are free to read, we are sure you will enjoy them! pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/jo… #polymers #OpenAccess

Absolutely ecstatic to be included in the first issue (and cover!) of this exciting journal!

I hope some of these amazing people apply to the (just posted) tenure-track position in polymer chemistry UF Chemistry explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5286…

Our latest publication on the synthesis of sequence controlled PLGA. Awesome job by Yiye Lu on this paper! 🥳

Looking forward to this!

In my polymer course, I teach that atactic polymers are usually amorphous, and isotactic and syndiotactic polymers are usually semicrystalline with different crystal structures. Methylated PHBs are all crystalline and isomorphic regardless of tacticity! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

SMLQC-2023 was a huge success. Thank you Roland, Pavlo Dral, Chao, and Ignacio for organizing such a great meeting! We are waiting you for the next one in Knoxville UTK CHEMISTRY UT Arts & Sciences

The hottest new reprocessable polyolefin thermoset dropped. Eliza Neidhart with an absolute barnburner of a report in J. Am. Chem. Soc. working with an all-star cast comprising of UNC-Chapel Hill Sheiko group, Prof. Alexanian, Frank Leibfarth , Oak Ridge Lab , Berkeley Lab Research , Helms Research Group & Mutian Hua.

For the chemists out there, this research started in the early 2000's as one of my job proposals. It only took 20 'short' years to get it to market! Kudos to Zengquan Qin from Coates Group who discovered the catalyst, and Scott Allen and the Novomer folks for their hard work.
