Check out our most recent paper looking at radical flux to outcompete polymer flow in Frontal Polymerization! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Regulating Radical Flux in Frontal Polymerization

Abstract. In this study, we investigate the temperature dependence of radical flux in frontal radical polymerization (FRaP) for the generation of linear po

Our first publication of 2026 is out in @J_A_C_S now! #Graham and friends electrochemically depolymerized PMMA, with greater than 95% depolymerization observed! @ERG_Chem @AustinMEvans @ButlerPolymer pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Electrochemically Initiated Depolymerization of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)

Abstract. Efficient depolymerization of polymers with all-carbon backbones under mild conditions would be valuable in chemically recycling commodity plasti

Research paper #2 from our group just dropped as Open Access in Adv Materials. In this paper, we probe pendant length in frontal polymerization and the resulting material properties. @KA_Stew absolutely crushed this one, check it out! @JacobJLessard1 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley…

Engineering Free Volume within Frontal Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization via Pendant Plastic...

Norbornene-based copolymers with tunable n-alkyl pendant length provide control over matrix free volume, enabling elastomeric materials via frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP).
