This Federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $500,000 to Trustees of Boston College, doing business as Boston College, to develop novel polysaccharide-based soft materials. The research project aims to devise innovative approaches for precision synthesis of polysaccharides with controlled molecular structures, using living cationic ring-opening polymerization of anhydrosugars. The work will establish structure-property relationships for these precision polysaccharides and enable additive manufacturing to translate molecular-scale features to macroscopic materials. In addition, the project will create a new regional platform, the Massachusetts-Missouri Macro-Materials Meeting (5M), to promote communication, collaboration, and STEM education among polymer scientists and students in the surrounding areas. The award period runs from June 15, 2024 to May 31, 2028.
