Making molecules for materials @DukeU.

Chemists often use light or heat to overcome reaction barriers, we in the Craig Lab sometimes prefer hammers. #mechanochemistry #HelloTwitterWorld

This manuscript has been sitting in my computer for a while, and we finally get it out. Many thanks to Alex and Tatiana. We hope it will provide useful quantitative info for spiropyran (SP) force probe in various polymer matrices. https://t.co/Xp8nxgsYRc

This work was really inspired by @YanXiaLab 's work on the enos ether as effective ROMP monomer. I started the project during the summer while still at @CraigGroup_Duke and, later, with @ChziGu 's tremendous effort, we finally get this out together. https://t.co/OSUYL9NKNu

Check out our latest work online today @MacroJrnls_ACS! We report the synthesis of new polycarbooligosilanes, epoxide functionalization, and their single-chain elasticity. Another exciting @CciMonet collaboration with @CraigGroup_Duke and @KulikGroup! https://t.co/wibvVJiqZD

Check out @ConnieOkeke 's poster on her research project this summer!! Welcome to leave comments if you have questions @CciMonet #MONETREUScholars

[Connie Okeke @ConnieOkeke]

It has been a lovely experience working with the Craig Group here at Duke University and learning about polymers. I am happy to share my poster about my research with the group on the effects of using weak bond crosslinkers in making comb polymers.

Stretchy, super-tough materials could make car tires less polluting. The secret to their toughness: Weak bonds that actually make them stronger. https://t.co/GebQboCZO4 @CraigGroup_Duke @CciMonet @DukeU @johnsonchem @ShuWang_1111 @MIT #NSFfunded

New MONET publication in Science! Cyclobutane-based mechanophore cross-linkers that break through force-triggered cycloreversion lead to networks that are up to nine times as tough as conventional analogs. https://t.co/hs8aejCl8Z

It was a fantastic weekend when Drs. Shu Wang, Yichen Yu, Patricia Johnson, and Cary Ritter came back to Duke for hooding!
