Abstract: RNA transcribed from the genome in the nucleus bears little resemblance to the RNA polymer it will ultimately become in the cytoplasm where it is translated into protein. Well-known […]
“Molecular Dynamics and Glass Formation of Nanoscopically Confined Polymer” Many technological advances are driven by the ongoing emergence of nanostructured polymers as the critical component to enable innovation. Yet, from […]
Abstract: Nature has evolved highly sophisticated machinery for organic synthesis, many of which resemble molecular assembly-line processes. So far chemists have been able to apply this type of approach in […]
Exploration of Chemical Functionality of Self-Assembled Carborane Derivatives
The Center for Integrated Catalysis is hosting a new seminar series called the "Careers in Green Chemistry." With these webinars, we aim to bring speakers from a wide variety of careers, […]
Chanfreau Group "Substrate specificity of the Yeast TRAMP complex”
“Aerosol particles out in the world: Wildfire smoke, traffic hotspots, SARS CoV-19, & Cloud droplet chemistry.”
Abstract: As more attention is focused on biomaterials for medical applications, synthetic polypeptides offer a useful approach towards designing novel biomimetic materials. Polypeptides are inherently biodegradable and biocompatible, and offer […]
Ruxi Dai “Redox switchable catalysts for the preparation of biodegradable copolymers with novel properties” Amy Lai “Predicting redox-switchable reactivity for the ring opening polymerization of lactones and epoxides”
Enabling High Capacity Anodes and Cathodes for Li-Ion Batteries
Abstract: The Kalow lab interrogates and exploits the relationship between molecular reactivity and macroscopic properties to discover polymeric materials relevant to human health and sustainability. We approach “reactivity-property” relationships bidirectionally: […]
