Specifically, the...
- This $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program supports Professor Frieder Jäkle of Rutgers University-Newark in developing novel boron-containing polymers and supramolecular materials. The research aims to exploit the reversible electron-deficient properties of boron compounds to create "smart" polymeric materials with interesting photophysical, electronic, and stimuli-responsive characteristics. This includes...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded The Johns Hopkins University a three-year Project Grant totaling $575,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports research into the generation and reactivity of biologically relevant reactive sulfur species, including hydroperoxides, and the development of novel photoprecursors and protein persulfidating reagents to produce these species. Professor John P. Toscano of Johns...
- This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry aims to develop novel polymeric materials based on segmented polar-polyolefin copolymers with complex architectures. Professors Eva Harth at the University of Houston and Krzysztof Matyjaszewski at Carnegie Mellon University are collaborating on this 3-year effort, which seeks to advance energy storage materials and plastic upcycling capabilities. The key products and services to be delivered...
- The Johns Hopkins University received a $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research on August 15, 2021 to support research efforts concluding January 31, 2023.

The National Science Foundation awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $510,000 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop new polymer modification chemistries. Johns Hopkins will utilize borane-substituted polyolefins as precursors to synthesize copolymers of allyl alcohol, allyl chloride, and alpha-olefins that cannot currently be accessed directly from polymerization of allylic monomers. Specifically, Rebekka Klausen will employ Matteson homologation followed by deborylative transformations to insert methylene or chloromethyl groups into carbon-boron bonds in an iterative and stereospecific manner. This work aims to uncover new structure-function relationships in historically inaccessible polymers and evaluate their physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. It will also provide training opportunities for underrepresented minority students. The three-year award running from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026 supports the synthesis of target copolymers through Johns Hopkins' iterative macromolecular functionalization platform.
