I had the amazing opportunity to present my research on cis-selective ADMET in the Excellence in Graduate Polymer Research symposium and reconnect with friends at #ACSSpring2024. 📸: James Young


This is long overdue, but I am VERY excited to announce that I am joining the Chemistry Department at University of Utah in July! TheLessardLab Thank you to everyone who has supported me and continue to do so! Utah Chemistry has been very helpful already and cannot wait to start!


Check out our comprehensive review on recyclable and (bio)degradable polyesters! This was a labor of love that I hope the community appreciates Changxia Shi 施昌霞 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

🚨 paper alert 🚨 Check out second year Kwangwook Ko’s manuscript on mechanism guided discovery of backbone cleavable PMMA! Congrats Kwangwook and team!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… J. Am. Chem. Soc.

Very happy our paper on UHMW ABA triblocks was released in #Macromolecules ACS Macro Journals. Awesome work led by Megan Lott. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Sumerlin Research Group Butler Polymer Research Laboratory UF Chemistry

Excited to announce our latest research on introducing β-triketones and diketoenamine chemistry into vinyl polymers! J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… Huge Thanks to Kevin Stewart, Debabrata Konar, Brent Sumerlin, Sumerlin Research Group for their contributions!

I am incredibly excited to announce that I am joining UCL Chemistry as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor). Can’t thank all the amazing people who’ve help get me here. So just a special thanks to my incredible supervisors Brent Sumerlin Sebastien Perrier O'Reilly group for all their support.

It's alive! James Young and Sofia Goodrich give life to postconsumer PMMA and PαMS by mechanochemically installing phthalimide esters onto the chains that can subsequently be used to trigger bulk depolymerization!

It was great to celebrate and honor Brent Sumerlin who was recognized with the ACS POLY Division Mark Scholar Award 🥇Congratulations! Sumerlin Research Group continues to push the limits of polymer chemistry 🤩


Super excited for the first paper from my postdoc. Big thanks to my advisors Brent Sumerlin Austin Evans, coauthors Josh, Rhys Hughes Graham Gilchrist, and groups Sumerlin Research Group Evans Research Group. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Dr. Brent Sumerlin and his team at UF Chemistry in UF College of Liberal Arts and Sciences develop solvent-free, cost-effective method to break down the popular glass substitute into its original monomers. A game-changer for a more sustainable and efficient polymer industry. 🔗ufinnovate.technologypublisher.com/techcase/MP240…

219,426 days after the creation of light, we're finally actually doing something with it. Go give a read to our newest perspective on photoiniferter polymerizations from Rhys Hughes Megan Lott and #DrOlsonS!
