Happy to share that our work has been published in JACS! We developed hydroxybenzoate-co-lactide polymers derived from biosourced starting materials. These materials exhibit both antimicrobial activity and degradability, offering promising potential for sustainable applications.

ACS Spring 2023 was a blast! I presented my research and our club poster. We brought a record 33 undergraduates this year, and it was very gratifying to see our hard work pay off. Thank you to everyone who supported us! @psu_chemistry @ncs_psu @ACSUndergrad – at Indianapolis, IN
