Excited to see the cyclic polymer field is evolving! Happy to be a small part of this work put together by @MindiolaGroup @VeigeLab_UF @LowDispersity @baikkaist Please check it out!
Mindiola Group@MindiolaGroup26 Jan 2024
Check out our first article of 2024 published in @J_A_C_S where we describe how a Vanadium Alkylidyne leads to the formation of cyclic conjugated polymers! The second of many cyclic polymer papers to come! @VeigeLab_UF @LowDispersity @baikkaist pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Fresh off the presses is a new perspective on Poly(Vinyl Ketones), coauthored by Dr. @Digvy_Pal and @Konar_Deb in Macromolecular Rapid Comm! We're all very excited to have this available for you to cite as much as you want, don't hold back #polymers #PVKs onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Poly(Vinyl Ketones): New Directions in Photodegradable Polymers

Poly(vinyl ketones) (PVKs) are classic examples of photodegradable polymers. Considerable progress has been made to enable their synthesis by methods that afford controlled molecular weights and...

A variety of methods exist for degrading polyMETHacrylates, but much fewer for polyacrylates. Our report (shorturl.at/krMUY) in @J_A_C_S shows how any polyacrylate can be degraded, even without intentionally designing it to do so @KorpusikAngie @AlafateAdili @UFChemistry

Excited to share with you our work on the study of self-assembly behavior of the amphiphilic cyclic bottlebrush polymers. Many thanks John @ChemMiao Lily @VeigeLab_UF @Brent_Sumerlin #ufchemistry doi.org/10.1021/acs.macromol…

Nanobowls from Amphiphilic Core–Shell Cyclic Bottlebrush Polymers

Abstract. Cyclic bottlebrush polymers are macrocycles that contain pendent side-chain polymers on nearly every repeat unit. We leveraged a method to genera

Congratulations my dear colleague, @JoyRutherford14!! And @nagiblab!
Dr. Joy@JoyRutherford144 Aug 2022
Accessing carbene reactivity using stable aldehyde-derived precursors, what’s not to love!😍 This has been such an exciting and fast-paced project to work on. I’m very happy to finally see it published in @Science! Congrats Team Carbene!🥳

UF scientists have made history as the first to grow plants in lunar soil, using just a few teaspoons from @NASA’s #Apollo missions. @UF_IFAS’ tiny lunar garden will help pave the way for life on the moon. 🌕 🌱

Florida scientists take the next giant leap for mankind

This journey wouldn’t be possible without your guidance and tremendous support @Brent_Sumerlin. You are an amazing advisor!! Proud to be a part of @LowDispersity. I’m going to miss it. Can I make a request here to start @LowDispersity Alumni Group Retreat?!:)

Check out our paper released today in ACS Macro Letters that shows mild (green) light can be used to degrade the all-carbon backbone of methacrylate-based polymers. doi.org/10.1021/acsmacrolett… @MacroJrnls_ACS @LowDispersity @ButlerPolymer @UFChemistry

Backbone Degradation of Polymethacrylates via Metal-Free Ambient-Temperature Photoinduced Single-...

Abstract. Polymeric materials comprised of all-carbon backbones are ubiquitous to modern society due to their low cost, impressive robustness, and unparall

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 @JuliaYRho for initiating things in 2020! @Brent_Sumerlin
