CONGRATS WENLU!

Congrats Amira for receiving an ACS Undergraduate Award in Organic Chemistry
Great job and well deserved, Amira!
Congrats Amira for your Honors Thesis!
Amira successfully defended her Chemistry Honors Thesis on Monday, congratulations!
Congrats Master Karl!
Congratulations to Karl for successfully defending his MS thesis on the computational and experimental elucidation of the EPoN growth!

Wenlu and Zhaoyi publish first papers on EPoN
Congratulations to Wenlu and Zhaoyi for each publishing a first-author paper on our Electrodeposition of Polymer Networks (EPoN), a novel fabrication mechanism for ultrathin (10-100s nm) polymer coatings that are conformal even on porous and non-planar materials.
Wenlu describes the single-component oxidative EPoN using phenol as polymer end groups in Advanced Materials
Zhaoyi describes the reductive EPoN of polymers with bromoisobutyrate end groups and a complementary small-molecule crosslinker in RSC Applied Polymers
Yuanzhi’s paper on Nanostructured Organogels published
Published in ACS Nano: our work on the swelling behavior of ordered self-assembled and crosslinked block copolymer bulk materials, as well as their first use as a nanostructured organogels template to structure polymeric and inorganic materials. Great job Yuanzhi and thanks to Prof. Plummer for her valuable input. Check it out here: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsnano.4c04394
Congratulations to Mariam, Ruiyang, Chase, and Nashr to their graduation!
