Mark your calendars for our Spring 2023 Center for Sustainable Macromolecular Materials seminar series! We cannot wait to welcome this amazing group of scientists to Arizona State University and learn more about their research and educational experiences.

Another week, another excellent seminar! Today, Prof. Marc Hillmyer gave an inspiring talk on "Ring-opening metathesis polymerizations of cyclooctenes to give functional polymers with applications at the intersection of sustainability and polymer science". See you all in a month!

Applications are now open for Center for Sustainable Macromolecular Materials Research Experience & Mentoring (REM) Program. Qualified undergraduate students are invited to apply for this summer research experience sponsored by U.S. National Science Foundation. For more information and applications, please visit: etap.nsf.gov/award/991/oppo…

📢Don't miss our virtual open house! 📅August 30th ⌚12:30 PM - 2:00 PM MST For more information, contact Samantha Lake: [email protected]

Thank you so much for hosting me Shaurya Prakash ! I enjoyed sharing my research at Ohio State MAE. Hoping to meet in person one day.

New research in Journal of Polymer Science: Rapid, water-tolerant photo-controlled cationic RAFT polymerization of vinyl ethers using a three-component initiation system for 3D printing and chemical alteration post-printing by S. Eileen Seo and co-authors. #freetoread doi.org/10.1002/pol.20…

Exciting news for Arizona State University!

The front cover designed by my group is finally published in JPS! A huge shout out to Thaly Thalia Gonzalez, well-done!

Check out our Special Issue on #Crystallization and #Assembly at Interfaces in MRS Advances Materials Research Society (MRS), a companion and extension to our 2023 MRS Fall symposium! Co-edited with @xin_qi_gmkk, S. Eileen Seo, Shuai Zhang, and Olaf Borkiewicz. A thread👇 link.springer.com/journal/43580/…

Proud of this work, finally online in Macromolecules pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…! We show that tailorable nanoparticle-based bonds can be used to design mechanically robust, self-healing polymer networks. Assembly of NP bonds and polymers is also reversible with recovered properties

Attended an incredible lecture by @CarolynBertozzi last night at the Desert Botanical Garden! Her insights on the intersection of chemistry and biology were truly inspiring. A powerful reminder of how curiosity, persistence, and interdisciplinary collaboration can make an impact.

#ASUEngineering Assistant Prof S. Eileen Seo recently earned a 2024 Early Career Research Program Award from U.S. Department of Energy for creating a novel approach to manufacturing self-repairing polymer objects with high mechanical properties. ow.ly/YoF350UlPM4
