Our 1st 🌱 cements paper is here 🥳 We show how #algae hinders #cement hydration & shed light on the mechanisms at play. These insights are critical for optimizing carbon-negative algal fillers to make low carbon footprint cement #SustainableConstruction pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

📢Don't miss our virtual open house! 📅August 30th ⌚12:30 PM - 2:00 PM MST For more information, contact Samantha Lake: [email protected]

Center for Sustainable Macromolecular Materials is thrilled to announce that Yoan C. Simon will join its faculty as a core faculty member with a tenure home in ASU School of Molecular Sciences! Welcome to ASU, Professor Simon!

New #ASUEngineering Assistant Professor Jeffrey Self is excited to work with today’s generation of socially and environmentally conscious students as we address the #chemicalengineering challenges of tomorrow! 💪 fullcircle.asu.edu/welcome/jeffre…

Cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) are unique monomers for radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) to generate #degradable #polymers. In a recent J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper, we reported sugar-based CKAs for quantitative and regio-/stereo-selective rROP. Boston College Chemistry #glycotime

Congratulations to Zachariah A Page (UT Austin) on receiving the Herman F. Mark Young Scholar Award! POLY looks forward to honoring Zachariah's achievement during the #ACSFall2024 Meeting! #POLYAward #24MarkYoungAward

We're hiring a postdoctoral researcher to join Center for Sustainable Macromolecular Materials working in the TE Long Research Group and the Self Lab. Experience in polymers, synthesis, and/or photochemistry is desired. More information here: labs.engineering.asu.edu/self/opportuni… Please retweet and share! #chempostdoc

Join our #MateriAlZ Seminar tomorrow! Dr. Stoerzinger University of Minnesota will talk about perovskites and their activity for oxygen electrocatalysis. As always, hosted by @asu Arizona State University_SMS University of Arizona UAZ Engineering. 10.30 am MST, pw: 716475 material-az.org

Proud of Jen-Chieh, Thaly, and Clarissa for getting recognized at Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University Fusion annual retreat!🏅👏 Jen-Chieh: Awarded for best use of physical principles Thalia: Awarded for best use of chemistry Clarissa: People's choice award

Yesterday, a student referred to a reference as "that paper from the 1900's". I thought he was talking about a seminal paper from the 40's. He was talking about a paper from 1995.

Check out our latest paper just published in ACS Sustainable Journals! In this work, led by Viviane Chiaradia, we developed a library of sustainably sourced photopolymer materials with tuneable thermomechanical properties for use in 3D printing 🍃 doi.org/10.1021/acssus…

Excited to see Center for Sustainable Macromolecular Materials U.S. National Science Foundation EFRI REM summer undergraduate researchers, graduate student mentors, and faculty visit Phoenix Public Works! Together, we're committed to sustainability and recycling for a better future! 🌱♻️

Just noting that Kamala Harris's mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a terrific scientist. Grad school at 19, PhD Berkeley at 25 in 1964! Here, she is first and corresponding author on an excellent and highly cited PNAS based on an NIH grant with her as PI. jstor.org/stable/44171

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 🤫♻️

One of my students gave me this gift from their recent travels and I can't get over how cool it is:

A lovely read for your morning: npr.org/sections/the-p…

The Seo Lab is honored to be selected as a recipient of the prestigious DOE ECRP award! We will use the grant to develop dynamic polymer networks engineered by nanotechnology and improve the material sustainability.

We are doing it again! If you are a US-based undergraduate student interested in materials science topics, apply for the 2nd edition of our #MateriAlZ Winter School. This event is free of charge with the support by U.S. National Science Foundation, Arizona State University and University of Arizona. Apply here: bit.ly/Materialz2025
