Check out our newest work in @J_A_C_S A nice collaboration between @TheRobbGroup and @ShabatGroup Great thanks to @Maxwell_Robb for the support.
Today we report in @J_A_C_S a novel and highly modular platform for mechanically triggered chemiluminescence (bright light emission) from polymers. Congrats to @PengLiuChem, Yu-Ling (Debbie), and coworkers! Collab with @ShabatGroup. @CaltechCCE @Caltech

Excited to share the last piece of my work @MerkleInstitute online now @nature. Thanks to excellent collaborations, we developed large-area, self-healing planar block copolymer membranes at the interface of an aqueous two-phase system for energy conversion.

Congratulations, Max!
Well, I guess it’s Twitter Official…Yesterday I was promoted to Professor with tenure @Caltech in @CaltechCCE. I am beyond grateful to my amazing students, colleagues, mentors, family, and friends that helped me get here. I feel truly lucky. Thank you!

Neuer Ansatz für abbaubare Kunststoffe in @NatureChemistry vorgestellt: Durch einen neuartigen molekularen Baustein, der in die Polymere eingebaut wird, kann der Abbau durch eine Kombination von mechanischen Kräften und wässriger Lauge ausgelöst werden.
