We’d like to warmly welcome Abdullah, Jerry, Ruoja, Yuanzuo, Jacob, Madelyn, and Niko to the team! We’re happy to have you 🙂

In collaboration with the Long group, Sean and Dr. Yang recently reviewed the recent advances in external-stimuli-modulated polymerizations. Check out the review here: https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.0c03802

Brock and Dr. Shen (in collaboration with the Boechler, Craig, Nelson, and Storti groups) just published a Nature Materials review on mechanochemistry. Check it out here: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41578-020-00249-w

Pengtao, Tori, Rachel, and Dan recently published on the development of metal-free ROMP! Check it out here: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.accounts.0c00427

In collaboration with the Rudykh group, Cody authored a paper in Additive Manufacturing about the mechanical behavior of photocured polymers typically used in 3D printing. Read the article here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2020.101511

Chang-Uk, Jianxun, Brock, and Cody review the recent developments in the world of additive manufacturing with high-performance polymers, and then offer their perspective on the field’s future directions and challenges. Check out their article here: …

Thanks to the award from MRSEC, the Boydston Group will be collaborating to investigate multiscale soft composite materials. With this research, we hope to pave the way for advancement of flexible electronics, optical and acoustic switches, …

The multidisciplinary, multiscale studies will help bridge molecular-to-macroscopic interplay in responsive materials. Please see the press release by Tatum Lyles, here: https://www.chem.wisc.edu/content/uw-madison-chemists-chosen-part-multidisciplinary-university-research-initiative

The award is made to BCI, Inc. and our team will support the work through a subcontract to develop new catalysts and formulations for bulk curing.

We are grateful to the NSF for their generous support and to the amazing staff at UW who helped put this in place. Notably, the grant-writing process was led by Rachel Tritt, Dr. Xuejin Yang, …
