What does it mean to #RestoreOurEarth? It is when you and I come together on a simple act—cleaning up our world. We are delighted to launch #Clean4Change, a campaign that encourages everyone to help #EndPlasticWaste. Learn more at bit.ly/Clean4ChangeLa… #Commit2Action

The state of nature is in serious decline, a #ScienceReview reported in 2019. A sustainable global future is only possible with urgent transformative change that tackles the root causes. Learn more on #EarthDay: fcld.ly/8fmhwml

Had a great conversation with NPR's Sound of Ideas on Earth Day and how to address our plastic waste crisis! ideastream.org/programs/sound…

The #Goodyear Blimp as seen from our lab! Caution: Objects seen through our lab windows are closer than they appear!

Congratulations to our lab member Keaton! He earned the Goodyear Graduate Fellowship for his research progress in amorphous polyethylene.

Welcome our undergraduate Will to the lab for the summer! Check out Will’s first polymerization with the nylon rope experiment!

Happy Birthday to our REU student, Manwel! After working hard with our olefin subgroup members, the cake made a perfect treat. Good luck on the rest of your REU!

Wishing the best of luck to our undergrad Will! He has just finished working in the Eagan group with Gavan. Thank you for joining us to learn about polymer science and enjoy your next semester!

Check out our recent publication! Congrats to all involved for their hard work!

Happy Mole Day everyone! We celebrated in the lab by having a mole scavenger hunt. Gavan was crowned for finding the most elusive moles!

We celebrated an October birthday recently for one of our senior lab members. Happy birthday Abhishek!

How long does plastic take to degrade when it's disposed of? Years? Decades? The answer is centuries. 😮 Meet James Eagan, a UA Engineering and Polymer Science professor who is aiming to solve that issue using carbon dioxide. ⚛️ Read about Eagan's work and what C02 can do: ow.ly/K7YX50HKLjM

A great 4 minute watch! An awesome story and production of the hard work done by James Eagan and our group. Here’s to big solutions starting with small experiments! UA Engineering and Polymer Science @UAkronNews The University of Akron nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

We congratulate lab member Satej for winning 1st place in the first ever Three Minute Thesis competition held at The University of Akron! Good luck in the next round of the competition!

Congratulations to Gavan from our group for completing his Formal Seminar!

Congratulations to our student award winners!

Using a fire extinguisher for the first time should not be during a lab emergency. Thanks to UAkron EHS for hosting a special fire extinguisher practice! uakron.edu/polymer/ eaganlab.com

Thanks to our friends at the Akron Chamber of Commerce GreaterAkronChamber , Brian and Surendra for hosting us at the Akron RubberDucks game! We had a great time with our friends from Synthomer plc , ACE Laboratories , Goodyear , Bridgestone , and Continental Tire .

Excited for our lab to be represented in Polymer Chemistry and for James Eagan to be recognized as an Emerging Investigator in the field of polymer chemistry!

Great turnout at this year’s Future Earth event led by UA’s undergraduate chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World! nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
