Chemists often use light or heat to overcome reaction barriers, we in the Craig Lab sometimes prefer hammers. #mechanochemistry #HelloTwitterWorld

This manuscript has been sitting in my computer for a while, and we finally get it out. Many thanks to Alex and Tatiana. We hope it will provide useful quantitative info for spiropyran (SP) force probe in various polymer matrices. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Solvent Polarity Effects on the Mechanochemistry of Spiropyran Ring Opening

Abstract. The spiropyran mechanophore (SP) is employed as a reporter of molecular tension in a wide range of polymer matrices, but the influence of surroun

This work was really inspired by @YanXiaLab 's work on the enos ether as effective ROMP monomer. I started the project during the summer while still at @CraigGroup_Duke and, later, with @ChziGu 's tremendous effort, we finally get this out together. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

It has been a lovely experience working with the Craig Group here at Duke University and learning about polymers. I am happy to share my poster about my research with the group on the effects of using weak bond crosslinkers in making comb polymers. #MONETREUScholars

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…

Facile mechanochemical cycloreversion of polymer cross-linkers enhances tear resistance

Weak cross-linkers can improve the ultimate strength and tear resistance of polymer networks.
