This $465,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Southern California to advance sustainable methods for producing conjugated polymers. Led by Professor Barry C. Thompson, the research aims to enhance the sustainability of direct arylation polymerization, a controlled and atom-efficient process for synthesizing semiconducting organic polymers with applications in optoelectronics. The project will investigate mechanistic features of the catalytic...
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...
Through this $699,254 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor Eugene Y. Chen of Colorado State University is developing new synthetic routes for the construction of technologically important cyclic polymers and copolymers from bio-based renewable monomers. The project aims to precisely control the structures and sequences of these cyclic polymers and copolymers using Lewis...
This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry aims to develop novel polymeric materials based on segmented polar-polyolefin copolymers with complex architectures. Professors Eva Harth at the University of Houston and Krzysztof Matyjaszewski at Carnegie Mellon University are collaborating on this 3-year effort, which seeks to advance energy storage materials and plastic upcycling capabilities. The key products and services to be delivered...
This $495,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry and Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research at the University of California, San Diego to develop electrochemical and photochemical methods for precision synthesis of conjugated polymers. Led by Nathan Romero, the three-year project beginning July 2023 aims to achieve length- and sequence-controlled polymerization of conjugated polymers using a combination of electrochemical and...
This Project Grant award of $380,824 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports collaborative research between Georgia Southern University and the University of Texas at Austin. The primary objectives are to: (1) develop a high-throughput process for producing bio-based monomers derived from microbial oils, (2) extensively characterize the materials properties of the...
This $640,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program, supports a collaborative research effort between Professors Wooley and Darensbourg of Texas A&M University. The objective is to develop sustainable synthetic methodologies that harness the chemical diversity of natural products to produce next-generation macromolecular materials. The proposed work aims to...
This $249,683 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research at Hamilton College to develop new polymer materials that can enhance the performance of molecular electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction. The project, led by Professor Wesley Kramer, aims to design and synthesize functionalized polymer supports that can immobilize molecular electrocatalysts on electrode surfaces and optimize the...
This $550,000 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of novel synthetic approaches for manufacturing optical polymers at the University of Arizona from June 2022 to May 2025. Funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, principal investigators Jeffrey Pyun and Robert Norwood will investigate a new step-growth polymerization process using sulfenyl chlorides to electrophilically add to olefinic monomers. Their research aims to address the high...
