This three-year, $491,708 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support the development of hybrid bonding polymers at Northwestern University. Researchers will integrate traditional covalent polymers with supramolecular polymers using small molecules as co-crystallized domains. This is intended to generate functional structures combining the mechanical benefits of polymer backbones and crystalline lattices at sites connected by...
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...
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 Northwestern University a $455,075 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop recyclable thermoset polymers for high-performance composites. Over a three-year period ending May 2026, the university will synthesize model epoxy networks incorporating aromatic disulfide bonds at various points and use mechanical testing, Raman scattering, and thin film experiments to characterize the materials and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $407,495 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo through the CAL Poly Corporation to develop novel, thermally responsive polymeric materials. The grant supports research by Professors Philip Costanzo and Daniel Bercovici to create polymer structures with dynamic-covalent linkages that can be cleaved and reformed at different temperatures. This...
This $495,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports Professor Richard Schaller of Northwestern University in investigating the transient structural evolution and dissipation in organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The project aims to use sophisticated time-resolved spectroscopies and X-ray methods to quantify the photoinduced structural changes, such as in bond angles,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $622,276 project grant to the University of Chicago under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research exploring room temperature dynamic covalent bonds in adaptive materials from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2025. The grant will fund research into developing materials with bonds that can reversibly break and form based on environmental changes, allowing the materials to adapt to different conditions without melting or...
This $500,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Northwestern University to develop de novo designed proteins as mechano-responsive junctions in protein-polymer networks. The key objectives are to: (i) synthesize and computationally simulate de novo designed proteins and their respective protein-polymer networks, and (ii) develop techniques for mechanical characterization...
