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.
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

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
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
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

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
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!
