I’m proud to say my first author paper was just accepted to Chem Sci! If you’re interested in how we chemically modify polystyrene waste under ball mill grinding conditions while maintaining high molar mass check it out! 🔨🥽

Just in time for the latest paper in @ChemicalScience from @SkalaMorgan! In this work, we combine our interests in mechanochemistry and sustainability to demonstrate the viability of ball milling for PPM of plastic waste w/o deleterious chain scission pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

My second first author manuscript from my PhD is out now! It was such an honor collaborating with PepsiCo to mechanochemically depolymerize and repurpose their biodegradable film packaging. It was also fun to make dynamic materials for the first time! More on CANs coming soon 👀

Find in the latest issue of Polymer Chemistry a Golder Lab x @PepsiCo collab, featuring a mechanochemical metamorphosis of post-consumer plastics to CANs GORGEOUSLY drawn by the talented Dr. @SkalaMorgan!
