This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry provides funding of $199,472 for a planning effort between Howard University, the University of the District of Columbia, and NSF's ChemMatCARS facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The goal is to develop a partnership that could form the basis of a future submission to NSF's Partnerships for Research and Education in Chemistry (PREC) program. The planning work will explore how the high-energy,...
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...
