Host Department of Chemistry Speaker Adam Hock Illinois Institute of Technology Description Ongoing changes in fuel and chemical feedstocks as well as the need for more sustainable practices are...
HostDepartment of Chemistry Description In polymer networks based on dynamic covalent bonds, changes in reactivity can be translated into macroscopic responses. My lab seeks to use synthetic chemistry...
HostDepartment of Chemistry Description The rapid construction of complex carbon-carbon double bonds via olefin-olefin metathesis has revolutionized the synthesis of biologically active organic...
HostDepartment of Chemistry Description The promise of nanotechnology will not be realized unless nanometer-scale structures can be precisely and reproducibly fabricated and assembled together into a...
Host Department of Chemistry Description Abstract Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) resin is used in the production of polyurethane rubber with applications ranging from commercial sealants to...
HostDepartment of Chemistry Description Much of chemistry occurs in ionic solutions and all of biology. Ionic solutions are plasmas in both the physical and biological meanings of the word. The...
HostDepartment of Chemistry Description Design of safe lithium ion batteries require innovations in materials for cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes. In particular, the role of 2D materials can be...
HostDepartment of Chemistry Description Recent studies have demonstrated that in addition to biochemical and genetic interactions, cellular systems also respond to biophysical cues, such as electrical...
HostDepartment of Chemistry Description In recent years, chemical biology has become an integral part of preclinical drug discovery research. Medicinal chemistry and therapeutic programs benefit from...
HostDepartment of Chemistry Description Biological systems are inherently heterogeneous, both at the molecular level (e.g., encoded proteins existing in distinct posttranslational modification states)...
