Through this $699,254 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor Eugene Y. Chen of Colorado State University is developing new synthetic routes for the construction of technologically important cyclic polymers and copolymers from bio-based renewable monomers. The project aims to precisely control the structures and sequences of these cyclic polymers and copolymers using Lewis...
Florida State University was awarded a three-year Project Grant of $579,792 by the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support research activities to develop new approaches for fusing benzene and cyclopentadiene rings into polyaromatic compounds through electro-, photo-, and radical reactions. This work aims to reinvent benzannulation reactions by exploring alternative reaction pathways...
The University of Florida received a three-year $495,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to develop new classes of synthetic supramolecular polymers. Professor Ronald Castellano and his students will synthesize novel monomeric building blocks that are cyclic and chiral in nature. Through structure-property investigations, they aim to control the thermodynamics, mechanism, and optoelectronic properties of the resulting supramolecular...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $396,290 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for research on microstructural control in metal-free ring-opening metathesis polymerization. This 3-year project, led by Professor Andrew J. Boydston, aims to mechanistically investigate polymer structural control in this polymerization technique, which has applications in areas such as lightweight vehicles, ballistic...
The University of Florida was awarded a $645,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year award will support research into catenated, singlet fission, and semi-conducting cyclic polymers from September 2021 through August 2024. The grant funds will enable the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research to advance scientific understanding of major problems in...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $598,000 supports research at Cornell University from September 2022 through August 2026 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Brett P. Fors will develop new photoinitiated polymerization strategies using common functional groups to produce polymers with controlled structures. Specifically, the research will utilize photocatalysis to directly initiate radical polymerization from carboxylic acids and C-H bonds,...
This Project Grant award of $118,229 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of novel sustainable polymers that can be easily recycled. The goal is to design chemically recyclable polyolefin materials with tunable properties that can be reverted to their monomers under mild conditions, reducing the energy-intensive depolymerization process common for most commodity polymers. The 5-year project, starting on...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $362,099 Project Grant to the University of South Carolina (USC) under the CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences program. The funding supports research by Dr. Sheryl L. Wiskur of the USC Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry to develop polymers that can be used in organic reactions to improve the sustainability of chemical processes. The goal is to understand how the microenvironment of...
This $600,000 National Science Foundation project grant in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to develop new methods for analyzing and optimizing polymer network structures. Professors Jeremiah A. Johnson and Bradley D. Olsen of MIT's Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering will work to invent chemical strategies, theories, and simulations to provide deeper understanding of topology in...
