@JPChem1 and team report the mechanochemical degradation of polystyrene into benzene via ball milling, enabling closed-loop recycling to styrene or upcycling to benzophenone #AngewandteVIP #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Very pleased to see our recent work on chemical recycling of unsaturated polymers highlighted by @physorg_com phys.org/news/2024-07-method…
In this massive team effort published in @ACSChemRev, we discuss how olefin metathesis has been applied to the development of new chemically recyclable polymers and the deconstruction of commercial polymers: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…. A great learning experience for us!
Thanks @dreyfusfndn for this incredible recognition! It is a humbling experience for me. Thank all current and past group members for their hard work that makes this possible.

Congratulations to Dr. Devavrat Sathe @DevSat96, the second PhD from the group! Still remember how excited we were when we found those ROMP polymers depolymerized as predicted! Your intellectual maturity, versatile skill set, and open mind will serve you well.

My group @PurdueChemistry likes to have a synthetic chemist with an open mind to work on semiconducting polymers as a postdoc fellow. Please email me directly with a research summary on your synthetic expertise. Check jianguomei.com for our group. Please help spread!

New MONET publication in Science! Cyclobutane-based mechanophore cross-linkers that break through force-triggered cycloreversion lead to networks that are up to nine times as tough as conventional analogs. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Very excited to share our latest research @J_A_C_S. C-C bond formation via pinacol coupling is made by applying a plasma-liquid process that generates highly reducing solvated electrons. Big thank to Jeff @Mechanophore, Mohan and all the collaborators! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
Excited to share our Minireview on mechanochemical degradation and recycling of synthetic polymers, including both commercial polymers and newly designed ones, @JunfengZhou2019, Tze-Gang, and I had fun putting it together.

Congrats, Jia and Lianqian! Great to see this amazing work published online! We had fun playing with your polymers!
Today we report @NatureChemistry a strategy for generating native polysaccharides from living polymerization of anhydrosugars - depolymerization is also possible - just up the temperature! #Glycotime #Polymer funded by @BeckmanFnd

We (@DevavratSathe, @JunfengZhou2019 and Hanlin) put together this Video Article to demo the synthesis and testing of our depolymerizable ROMP polymers: jove.com/t/64182. Hope it is helpful to the scientific community and the general public.
