9 days to go to tell the UK government that the polymer and plastics industry needs investment to train and educate the next generation of a sustainable workforce. Get in touch via DM or email (s.bon@warwick.ac.uk) and become a partner. The more companies and organisations on board, the better. Let's show UK Gov that we are ready for a green (r)evolution. #circulareconomy #plastics #plasticrecycling #plasticsindustry #plasticwaste #polymer #sustainability #stemeducation #phdstudent

I'm happy to share that my latest article on easy, scalable, air-tolerant #polymer brush synthesis is published in ACS Applied Polymer Materials! https://doi.org/10.1021/acsapm.3c01628

An absolute tragedy for BC and the #polymer community to lose Jeff Byers. He was one of the most thoughtful and generous people I met in the world of #chemistry.

A new company with a process using artificial intelligence and robotics to speed development of sustained release drugs is raising $4 million in seed funds.

2/2 Not only is this an amazingly creative and dedicated group of #polymer #scientists, I know from personal experience that this crew supports each other.

Here we are, arranged in the order in which we joined the group, from right to left: myself ('99-04), Jeung Gon Kim ('09-11), Brian Long ('09-11), Ben Elling ('11-13), Jessica Lamb ('12-17), Brooks Abel ('17-21), Xiaoran (Sean) Hu ('21-22), and Shilin Cui ('20-present, picture organizer).

I am super excited to present next week on Monday 24/04 at APME2023.

at 15:45 will talk about #polymer #brushes by SI-PET-RAFT, #polymerization control, and applications.

We invite you to our next session of yPC meets Industry: #Polymer #Science!

Dr. Sascha Fröbel is Global Process Chemistry Expert at #Covestro, where he has worked on diverse polyurethane materials, including highly durable composites for wind turbine blades.
Dr. Jan Domurath, Staff Engineer at #Goodyear Innovation Center Luxembourg, uses #NeuralNetworks to predict rubber compound properties.
We are excited to hear about their work!

Research into the nervous system, brain disorders, and general biological functions has often relied upon inserted electrodes to act as stimulators.

These mechanical parts, however, are inherently incompatible with organic tissues and can be finicky.

Now, Swedish researchers have used polymer gel to allow self-assembly of biological electrodes within the body.
