The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $496,696 Project Grant to Iowa State University to develop new classes of polymeric systems with tailored properties such as antimicrobial surfaces and cell-penetrating agents. The three-year grant, awarded from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund research to identify factors impacting the polymerization of sulfur-containing monomers, develop methods for post-polymerization installation of functional groups, and expand the functional groups accessible on radical chain-growth polymer scaffolds. The project aims to create new knowledge about the polymerization and reactivity of largely unknown functional groups in polymer chemistry, thereby enhancing the understanding of polymeric reactivity and design. The project is supported through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, which funds fundamental and applied research across diverse mathematical and physical science disciplines.
