First @ChemRxiv preprint from the @PattonGroupUSM (kudos to @atwillskywalker). In this work, thiols and light are used to construct and destruct polymer thermosets on command! The photodegradation movie is mesmerizing (solid to liquid in seconds) - check it out!

Excited to see another manuscript from grad school is published in Macromolecules! Check out our recent work on Quantifying Strain in Wrinkled Polymer Brush Surfaces. Thank you @dereklpatton Chris Stafford @WeiGuo_twit @BrittJTho @PhillipKLogan pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Quantifying Strain via Buckling Instabilities in Surface-Modified Polymer Brushes

Abstract. A compressive strain applied to bilayer films (e.g., a thin film adhered to a thick substrate) can lead to buckled or wrinkled morphologies, whic
