We develop polymeric materials with enhanced physical properties and function.

[ACS PMSE Division @acspmse]

Congrats to all of the PMSE and POLY awardees who were honored tonight! We hope everyone had an excellent ACS meeting!

[Megan Robertson @UHRobertsonLab]

We so enjoyed this collaboration with @dr_jah_director to create a plastic sorting educational activity, which was largely the work of PhD student @HerreraRonard

[ACS DivCHED @ACSDivCHED]

In the May issue of #JCE #JChemEd (https://t.co/lW9CUAIqoQ), a new article discusses a hands-on activity designed to illustrate the sorting process for recycled waste and how important this is to sustainability: https://t.co/rlR5x0DC29

PhD student @HerreraRonard and I had the chance to talk to Houston ABC13 meteorologist @ElyseSmithWX about plastic recycling! https://t.co/RILW2iuyf5

Join @acspmse for our Centennial celebration at the Spring ACS meeting!

[ACS PMSE Division @acspmse]

[PMSE 100] In 1924 at the 67th ACS National Meeting, the Paint and Varnish Section (a.k.a. PMSE) held our first symposium on paint and varnish chemistry. Join US for our Centennial Celebration at the 267th ACS meeting in New Orleans, LA. #PMSE100 #polymer

We are looking for new colleagues! We have two faculty openings, targeted research areas are polymer circularity and biomolecular engineering.

[UH Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering @UH_ChBE]

We are hiring *two* tenure-track faculty in (1) biomolecular engineering and (2) sustainable chemicals and energy (with focus on polymer circularity)! See https://t.co/FEx4KvO5Jr for details.

[ACS Macro Journals @MacroJrnls_ACS]

Controlling and understanding #polymer topology is an important tool in manipulating properties and function.

In issue 18 of #Macromolecules, the role of topology is explored in ring polymers, networks, and bottlebrush polymers ⬇

@drcraigglennie @UHEngineering Congrats Craig! Impressive accomplishment!

[Megan Robertson @UHRobertsonLab]

Thank you to the @WelchFoundation for this opportunity!

[UH Cullen College of Engineering @UHEngineering]

Congratulations to Megan Robertson! She is the project director for a new $4 million grant from the Welch Foundation that aims to improve the ability to recycle plastics. For more information, read the story on our website: https://t.co/R5F9sSQT2U

[Megan Robertson @UHRobertsonLab]

@PolymerPolymath @POLY_ACS Yes, that is correct.

[Megan Robertson @UHRobertsonLab]

Many thanks to @WelchFoundation for this opportunity to develop new methods of recycling and upcycling polyolefin waste. Excited to work with our team from @UH_ChBE and @uh_chem (Maurice Brookhart, @brad_carrow, Olafs Daugulis, Alamgir Karim, and Ramanan @krishnamoorti).

[Renu Khator @UHpres]

$4 million Welch Foundation grant to Dr. Megan Robertson of Chemical Engineering for developing new chemical paradigms for transforming plastic waste. Congratulations!!

[Megan Robertson @UHRobertsonLab]

Poster abstract deadline coming up soon on August 30! https://t.co/mOKfGooP5g

[Megan Robertson @UHRobertsonLab]

Join us for the @POLY_ACS workshop on Sustainable Polymers, with topics in polymers from renewable feedstocks and using biocatalysts; renewable blends, copolymers, composites; end-of-life behavior; industrial challenges in implementing green materials; LCA/TEA; and more!

[UH Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering @UH_ChBE]

Everything's bigger in Texas! Today's Texas Soft Matter meeting, co-organized by @UH_ChBE professor Gül Zerze, features 120+ attendees from across the state!

2023 PMSE strategic planning in Cleveland. Exciting new vision, missions and strategies in time for the PMSE centenary celebrations. #PMSE100 #polymer #materials #growth #future @AmerChemSociety

[ACS Macro Journals @MacroJrnls_ACS]

The dynamics of transient #polymer networks is highly influenced by the architecture of their building blocks. Three recent #Macromolecules articles discuss the limitations of telechelic networks and propose new paths to enhance their properties.

[Megan Robertson @UHRobertsonLab]

@laure_kayser @acspmse @AmerChemSociety @POLY_ACS Yes, this is a mistake in the tweet, deadline is still 24th. Sorry for the confusion.

[Megan Robertson @UHRobertsonLab]

@acspmse @AmerChemSociety @POLY_ACS The deadline is actually the 24th! We will fix the tweet ASAP. If you submit today, that is also ok!

[ACS PMSE Division @acspmse]

Nomination deadline in 4 days. "PMSE Centennial: Future Leaders of Polymeric Science and Engineering" symposium. Deadline: 7/24.
