Very happy this manuscript is out showing how hydrogels generated from cyclic polymers display unique swelling and mechanical properties! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Marcy Zenobi-Wong polymersurfaces.ethz.ch and Edmondo Benetti

Check out our recent paper on how molecular topology and composition of polyelectrolyte brushes determine their pH responsiveness. polymersurfaces.ethz.ch pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

The work of the talented Lucca Trachsel !

Very happy and proud to share our recent work on how dispersity within polymer brushes influences their interfacial properties J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Great team work!

We just returned from our 2022 group retreat, energized and ready for the rest of the year. A few are people missing, and you can't actually see the beach in the picture background, but the smiles speak volumes. Thank you Julia Rho for initiating things in 2020! Brent Sumerlin

Mark your calendars! Our 5th webinar series on macromolecular science will begin on Tue 5-March at 15:00 (UK). Join us for free to learn about recent findings in polymer synthesis, photochemistry, self-assembly, and more! Registration will open next week - more info to follow.

Join us tomorrow as we kick off our 5th series with two exciting talks! Our first week highlights recent advances in vinyl polymer synthesis and depolymerisation. Tune in and bring your burning questions to the Q&A 🤓

Excellent work led by Lucca Trachsel showcasing the broad utility of novel vinyl monomers bearing pendent triketones - amines (of many flavors) dont stand a chance when these are around. Thankful to be a part of this! Brent Sumerlin Debabrata Konar J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

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!

We’ll all remember where we were when the referees single handedly stopped the greatest 4th quarter comeback in NBA Finals history.

In Biomacromolecules we showed how cyclic polyoxazoline brushes on NPs enhance stealth properties in terms of protein binding and cell uptake in comparison with linear brush analogues. Topology matters!⭕️ In collaboration with Department of Biology – University of Padova and UGent pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Happy to be working together on degradable bottlebrushes with this talented first-year PhD student, Ivan Levkovsky, and excited to see our first paper out from the Matyjaszewski Lab! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to intern and work alongside such talented and ambitious chemists from Matyjaszewski Lab. I’ve learned so much in a short time and I’m truly thankful for this experience.
