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
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

[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 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.
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 ⬇

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