  • Polymer Chemist Wins ACS-PRF Award


    Depolymerizable Polyolefins via Ring-Opening of Backbone Cyclic Ethers

    Dr. Hao Sun won the ACS Petroleum Research Fund award for the proposal entitled "Transformation of Non-Depolymerizable Poly(oxanorbornene)s to Depolymerizable Polyolefins via Ring-Opening of Backbone Cyclic Ethers". He has a plan to engage 5-6 UG or MS students in his research project. This will be helpful for us on attracting or retaining good students in the chemistry programs. This project will also enhance the department’s strength on sustainability education and research.
