Excited to share our 2nd installment on templated entanglements—this time in gels! This work was led by a team of outstanding @ZhukoGroup students Erin Krist and Ben Kruse (@1craftychemist and @BJKtheOne) with help from John Dickenson in @MeyerGroupUNC. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Supramolecular Templation of Entanglements in Organogels

Polymer entanglements─topological constraints to chain motion─are fundamental features of polymers, whose presence is believed to improve materials properties such as modulus and toughness, essential...

Excited to share this collaborative work with the @ianatonks group, led by a powerhouse duo @ditzler_rach and @rachelrap77. We demonstrated architectural editing of polyester and polyurethane backbones through Pd-catalyzed 3,3-rearrangements pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Architectural Editing of Polyesters and Polyurethanes via Palladium(II)-Catalyzed [3,3]-Sigmatropic...

Architecture underlies the thermomechanical properties of polymers. Yet, few strategies are available to tune a polymer’s architecture after it is prepared without altering its chemical composition....

Want to learn more about hetero-ene metathesis? Check out our perspective in ACS Catalysis here: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102… @DrakeChem @Alex_Zhuko

Hetero-ene Metathesis

Metathesis of double bonds has enabled innovation in a broad range of fields: from materials science to medicine. However, this chemistry has largely focused on alkenes rather than hetero-enes, or...
