Hello bluesky! I hope to be more active on here, and not just because I want folks to read my papers! I will tweeting about polymers and chemistry mostly; talk to me if you love long molecules, or if you think we can teach each other something #chemsky

🚨 URGENT RESPONSE CALL 🚨

Trump’s Fool’s Gold Science EO is a dangerous sham.
It gives his appointees the power to dismiss entire bodies of research and punish researchers who fail to fall in line with his agenda.

We’ve launched an open letter.

If you like polymer networks or additive manufacturing / 3D printing, please read my paper on transferinker additives in acrylate resins! CTAs that crosslink dramatically change topology, toughening without softening much. Glad to work with Peter on this one!

Toughening and Imparting Deconstructability to 3D‐Printed Glassy Thermosets with “Transferinker” Additives
Transferinkers are cross-linkers capable of undergoing degenerative chain transfer and new strand growth. Incorporating transferinkers into 3D printable photopolymer resins leads to improved tensile ...

#Chemsky My paper on tetrafunctional cyclobutanes has been released on Chemarxiv! Mechanophores as network junctions can do wild things; I got to think about how mechanochemistry interacts with network topology and fracture mechanics. Fantastic to be a part of #MONET!

Controlled Gel Toughening with Tetrafunctional Cyclobutane Mechanophores
Customizing the toughness of single-network polymer gels independently of their composition and topology remains an unsolved challenge. Traditionally, polymer network toughening is achieved by using s...
