Welcome to new MMD lab members

Welcome to new MS candidate Prathamesh and undergraduates Allison and Yunyun! Also, a quite belated congratulations to former MMD member Zelin now employed at Cummins, for graduating with his MS this past spring.

The Effect of Intrachain Cross-Linking for Glassy Polymers

Suwon Bae’s new paper is now out in Macromolecules. This manuscript presents his molecular dynamics simulations examining the thermo-mechanical behavior of glassy polymers assembled from single chain polymer nanoparticles. Suwon’s simulations showed surprisingly good agreement with our earlier experimental work on the same class of materials. This is our third paper in our ongoing collaboration […]

The NY State Fair

The MMD lab made its annual sojourn to the NY State Fair this weekend to host a booth in the 4-H Youth Building. We got to share our enthusiasm for polymers and mechanochemistry with the myriad of people spending their Labor Day at the fair. Joy used her materials science expertise to take our silly […]
