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...
This Project Grant award of $421,781 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the University of Chicago in developing advanced polymer materials with unprecedented mechanical properties and self-healing capabilities. The research aims to create an integrated database of adaptive polymer networks that are highly stretchable, resilient, and self-healing through the use of novel double-threaded slide-ring polymers and dynamic...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Chicago a $669,999 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop new synthetic methodologies for interlocked polymers from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027. Professor Stuart J. Rowan and his team will design and synthesize polycatenanes and polyrotaxanes, which are macromolecular architectures containing mechanical bonds within the polymer backbone. This research aims to access new interlocked...
