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) Division of Chemistry awarded a $451,626 Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year grant, which commenced on August 1, 2023, supports UNR's research into recyclable and dynamic covalent polymers known as polydithioacetals. Through this project, UNR aims to develop a detailed understanding of the polymerization mechanisms and thermodynamics of entropy-driven...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $405,431 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, to conduct collaborative research on developing polymers with adaptive molecular structures that can withstand extreme conditions. The key objectives are to: 1) pioneer the use of double-threaded polymers to fabricate slide-ring polymers for enhanced...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $742,587 Project Grant through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration Division. The grant supports Princeton's research to develop degradable polymers derived from commodity plastic monomers. Key objectives include investigating the kinetics and mechanisms of cobalt-mediated radical copolymerization of isocyanides and acrylates,...
This is a $675,234 Project Grant awarded on August 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program (CFDA 47.049). The grant recipient is the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a state government agency and institute of higher learning. The grant will fund research to develop a new class of "shape-morphing" polymer materials that can transform their shape in response to temperature changes, without requiring...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $273,291 to the University of California, Santa Barbara to develop computational tools that combine machine learning and scientific computing for the exploration and prediction of polymer systems. The goal is to accelerate the discovery of new materials and provide a framework for computationally costly problems across various scientific domains. The research...
This $210,335 NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award to Drexel University supports the development of a new computational method to accelerate the design of new polymeric materials. The project aims to create a simulation technique that can simultaneously resolve both monomer-level chemistry and mesoscopic length scales within polymeric materials. This has the potential to significantly speed up the development of new polymers for diverse applications like...
