Red-light–driven RAFT polymerization yields high MW (>600 kDa), water-soluble, degradable α-lipoic acid–vinyl copolymers, enabling higher molar masses and >60% LA incorporation than thermal RAFT for enhanced degradability. @ILevkovsky @MatyPolymerLab

I am deeply honored to receive this prestigious award! The achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support from the @univmiami_Chem and @UMCAS, my colleagues and mentors, and our hardworking students!

@zhangfuwu & his group just published a great study in @ACS_AMI. In this work, they used crosslinked micelles w/ covalently attached drug molecules for increased material stability and drug delivery capabilities. Check out the results at the link below:

We enjoyed the opportunity to host @Brent_Sumerlin from @LowDispersity and @UFChemistry to hear about his team's latest advances in polymer chem, mucin mimics, & depolymerization. The ability to make large polymers & controllably degrade them has great potential impacts.
Excited to share that our recent work on the synthesis of degradable bottlebrush polymers has recently been published in ACS Macro Letters. Thanks to Kris Matyjaszewski, @LuccaTrachsel and Hiro Murata for their contributions!
