- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program provides $465,000.00 to Texas A&M University from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028. The research aims to develop the knowledge required to create capsules with liquid cores and polymer shells, which have applications in medicine, food science, energy discovery, textiles, and other fields. The research will investigate how to localize precursors to the polymer shell, such as...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $320,000 to develop methods for measuring the molecular weight and polydispersity of polyelectrolytes. Professors Ralph H. Colby of Pennsylvania State University and Louis A. Madsen of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will establish robust general techniques for determining these parameters in polyelectrolytes, which are...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will enable research on a new class of "active polymers" that can respond to local energy fluctuations. The $495,000 award to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) will support the development of experimental methods to produce and study the mobility of these active polymers, with a focus on how energy injection at the molecular level impacts their behavior...
This $480,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) will investigate the solid-liquid phase behavior of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) and polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs). The project aims to better understand the molecular factors that control the phase boundary in these materials and how their assembly and properties vary under different conditions. The research will utilize model polyelectrolyte systems to systematically isolate the effects of factors like hydrogen bonding and charge on the phase behavior. This project will expand the fundamental knowledge of charged polymer materials and their assembly, processing, and stability characteristics, with potential applications in areas ranging from therapeutics to water purification and recyclable plastics. The project will also include public outreach activities through TAMU's Chemistry Open House and 4-H youth programs. The award period is from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
