SUMMARY:Chemical Recycling of Mechanically Robust Polyacetals Synthesized by Living Cationic Ring-Opening Polymerization
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Brooks Abel\, UC Berkeley Chemistry Dept.\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum\nDetails TBA soon on the Golden Gate Polymer Forum’s website\n\nAbout the speaker:\n \nResearch Interests\nPolymer chemistry\, organic chemistry\, stereoselective catalysis\, and polymer recycling. \nThe Abel group conducts research at the interfaces of polymer organic chemistry\, catalysis\, and materials science. We develop new living polymerization reactions\, with an emphasis on stereoselective and scalable catalysis\, guided by the growing energetic\, environmental\, and economic concerns associated with the production and end-of-life fates of synthetic materials. We pursue application-driven polymer chemistry\, where the desired chemical identity\, thermomechanical properties\, and end-use of the polymer materials are used to guide the development of new polymerization methods. We also take a methodology approach to discovering new polymerization reactions to push the field of polymer chemistry towards previously unobtainable control over polymer microstructure\, architecture\, and functionality. \nBiography\n\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Chemistry\, University of California Berkeley (since 2021)\nPostdoctoral Researcher\, Cornell University (2017-2021)\nPh.D.  Polymer Science\, The University of Southern Mississippi (2016)\nNational Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (2010)\nInternship at the National Institute of Standards and Technology\, Gaithersburg\, MD  (2009)\nB.
