Research paper #2 from our group just dropped as Open Access in Adv Materials. In this paper, we probe pendant length in frontal polymerization and the resulting material properties. @KA_Stew absolutely crushed this one, check it out! @JacobJLessard1

This footage from inside the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa might be the most jaw-dropping video ever captured of a hurricane’s eye, showcasing the infamous “stadium effect."

Proud of this one with co-first author @lehothi (who crushed it): pushing PISA beyond a chemistry curiosity into a potent strategy for bulk materials design—embedding reactive nanospheres in associative networks for enhanced creep resistance.@LowDispersity https://t.co/d6lDDe7xtA

A little teaser (preprint) of next things to come from postdoc work at Utah in @LessardLab. Wish us safe travels as we navigate peer review.

First post-doc work is out! See how we tune inhibition to access frontally polymerized materials with multiple levels of compositional control (molecular weight, microstructure, monolith patterning).

Stay tuned for more.

[TheLessardLab @LessardLab]

Our first paper on controlling molecular weight in Frontal Polymerization is live as Hot Paper in Angew. Chem. Check is out! @KA_Stew @JacobJLessard1 @angew_chem

In this work, we harness plasticizing pendent groups on fully styrenic, ultrahigh molecular weight backbones to achieve tunable degrees of polymer entanglement and elasticity. @ACSPublications @LowDispersity @Brent_Sumerlin @AustinMEvans https://t.co/bN31yqFLME

Congratulations to @lehothi for his recent publication in ACS Macro Letters! Grateful to be a part of this work wherein polyolefins are photochemically degraded using straightforward, mild, and cost-effective additives. @ACSPublications @LowDispersity

Check out our paper hot off the press! One of my last (co)1st author papers from postdoc.

Our storied return to @ChemicalScience this year is out now! Former visiting student #Kris and team developed a one-step, light-mediated approach for the formation of polyelectrolyte complex films! @Brent_Sumerlin @VISTEC_Thailand https://t.co/3llWfl6tLK

[Lucca Trachsel @LuccaTrachsel]

Happy to be working together on degradable bottlebrushes with this talented first-year PhD student, @ILevkovsky, and excited to see our first paper out from the @MatyPolymerLab! https://t.co/3bAjkXRO2i

[Kevin Stewart @KA_Stew]

In this work, we demonstrate that depolymerization has utility beyond polymer recycling by "sculpting" molecular weight distribution, enabling reprogrammable viscoelasticity and encryption of data. @UFChemistry @ACSPublications @LowDispersity

@TheMKUltr @zerosum24 Read my mind!

[Kevin Stewart @KA_Stew]

A straightforward method for achieving modular polyimine vitrimers from partially bioderived polystyrene copolymers/crosslinkers. A special thank you to a slew of talented undergraduate (and highschool!) mentees for all their hard work on this project. https://t.co/yCvI56T8PR

[Jacob J Lessard @JacobJLessard1]

Super stoked to have been a small part of this super cool paper on FP patterning just published in @Nature. Huge congrats to the team and especially Justine for exceptional work!
