New publication is out! Thanks @smaldonelab @ronsmaldone @KarenCorguz for the opportunity to collaborate with you on this ❤️
Latest work from the @smaldonelab is now online @ACSSustainable. These 3D printed polymers look and smell nice, and can be nicer for the environment too! Congrats to @KarenCorguz and a big team of collaborators for their help and hard work! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
