Congratulations to our lab members Sachini Perera and Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her) for presenting at the 2022 annual Thermoset Resin Formulation Association (TRFA) meeting!


Interested in green materials for #3Dprinting? Check out our latest preprint in ChemRxiv on vanillin-based photoresins that are recyclable thanks to dynamic covalent chemistry! Amazing work by Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her) and colleagues! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… Ashele K. Remy Melanie Ecker

Fish tacos in Ventura with the some of the Smaldone Lab, Ke and Gu labs at the 3D printing Gordon Research Conferences.



Kudos to rebecca johnson for the “Best Poster” Gordon Research Conferences on Additive Manufacturing of Soft Materials #3Dprinting #research


Latest work from the Smaldone Lab is now online ACS Sustainable Journals. These 3D printed polymers look and smell nice, and can be nicer for the environment too! Congrats to Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her) and a big team of collaborators for their help and hard work! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

New publication is out! Thanks Smaldone Lab Ron Smaldone Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her) for the opportunity to collaborate with you on this ❤️


It’s a semester wrap…. Smaldone Lab survived this one too….. end of semester party with lots of food and drinks 😄and cheers to Ron Smaldone for completing the amazing 10 years.


I’m delighted to share that our new preprint is out! In this work, we studied how to create self-healing 3D printable resins from bio based materials such as lignin, vanillin and soybean oil! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… Smaldone Lab Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her) Sachini Perera Ron Smaldone

Nature offers a lot of great renewable alternatives to drift away from fossil fuels, specially for creating new materials. I am happy to share our latest preprint is out. Thanks to Ron Smaldone and all my collaborators! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Tell me you have a cool PI w/o telling me you have a cool PI. Wishing you a Happy Galentine from Ron Smaldone and lab. -xoxo


Hey Siri play All Star by Smash Mouth- because our newest paper is out! (My first-first author!!) In this work, we 3D print bio-based lignin utilizing dynamic covalent chemistry. Smaldone Lab Ron Smaldone Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her) Sachini Perera doi.org/10.1002/pol.20…

An excellent highlight of research going on here Joe Smith. There are even a few examples from UT Dallas Chemistry - I would recommend checking out Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her)'s work on biobased 3D printing in the sustainability section. I am biased though....

Check out the latest work from the Smaldone Lab on #3Dprinting using monomers derived from natural products, now published in Polymer Chemistry. This project was led by Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her), who defends her thesis in less than two weeks! Perfect timing Karen! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Congratulations to Dr Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her) for defending her thesis on sustainable polymers for #3Dprinting! She’s been a force of nature in the lab FOR mother nature, and now will take her talents to Oak Ridge Lab as a postdoc. One last vegan group dinner to say thanks and goodbye- sustainably!
