We so enjoyed this collaboration with @dr_jah_director to create a plastic sorting educational activity, which was largely the work of PhD student @HerreraRonard
14 May 2024
In the May issue of #JCE #JChemEd (go.acs.org/9l5), a new article discusses a hands-on activity designed to illustrate the sorting process for recycled waste and how important this is to sustainability: go.acs.org/9l6

We are looking for new colleagues! We have two faculty openings, targeted research areas are polymer circularity and biomolecular engineering.
We are hiring *two* tenure-track faculty in (1) biomolecular engineering and (2) sustainable chemicals and energy (with focus on polymer circularity)! See chee.uh.edu/about/open-posit… for details.
ALT Banner stating that UH Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (UH ChBE) is hiring two tenure-track faculty.

Controlling and understanding #polymer topology is an important tool in manipulating properties and function.
In issue 18 of #Macromolecules, the role of topology is explored in ring polymers, networks, and bottlebrush polymers ⬇

The dynamics of transient #polymer networks is highly influenced by the architecture of their building blocks. Three recent #Macromolecules articles discuss the limitations of telechelic networks and propose new paths to enhance their properties.
