This three-year, $274,094 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research between Duke University and the University of South Carolina to develop metal-containing polymers that respond chemically to mechanical stress. Funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the researchers aim to establish structure-activity relationships and reaction mechanisms for mechanochemical cleavage of metal-cyclopentadienyl bonds. They will synthesize...
The University of South Carolina received a three-year $491,394 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) beginning November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2026. The grant supports research by Professor Ken Shimizu and his team to study and quantify weak non-covalent interactions in solution through computational analyses and experimental design of molecular balances and rotors. The research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemistry Division Project Grant, awarded to Duke University, provides $800,000 over 4 years (from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027) to study how mechanical forces can accelerate and control chemical reactions in polymeric materials. The primary objective is to establish a quantitative foundation for understanding "mechanochemistry" - the impact of mechanical forces on covalent chemical reactions along polymer backbones. The research aims to...
