🔥A new trick from our lab: >1M molecular weight semicrystalline "polycyclohexene" that can deploymerize at room temp. Even better, scalable using commodity monomers. Congrats to 🎉🎉Ke Zheng🎉🎉 who has transformed from a PAH maker to a polymer chemist https://t.co/GiqaVxW4x6

Cyclohexene cannot be polymerized via ring-opening polymerization under any conditions due to its lack of ring strain. A hypothetical polycyclohexene would therefore have a strong thermodynamic...

Thank you all for a fantastic first visit @KAIST_Chem! My days were filled with excitement, innovation, and lots of fun in the 'no-fun city' 😉
Congrats to Prof. @YanXiaLab on receiving KAIST Chemical Science and Engineering Lectureship Award! We all are truly grateful for the insightful lectures over the past three days. @StanfordUChem

"With an excellent student, you just sit back and let them do their own thing" this was the case. 100% Junzhe's idea and execution 🥳🎉
Grad to share the last piece of my PhD work with @YanXiaLab and the first corresponding paper! We introduced competitors to temporarilly supress the crosslinking to reversibly modulate hydrogel stiffness and viscoelasticity. https://t.co/fOm9BUFJra

We report a new strategy that allows reversible tuning of the stiffness and stress–relaxation of viscoelastic hydrogels cross-linked via hydrazone bonds by incorporating a small-molecule competitor....

This is also many years of unfunded but persistent effort. Hope we now have enough preliminary results for the next funding applications🤞🤞

Bob also enjoyed life and made people around him enjoy lives. This was taken on the last "group camping trip" with Bob (Bobs) on Aug 3, 2019. I'm still not a big fan of camping per se, but camping with Bob is a whole different thing. I'm glad I drove 6h to camp with Bob one night

I asked him what project I may work on. He said talk to the people in lab and find a good problem. On day 1, he taught me two most important lessons. Bob had full dedication and true love to science and the people around him.

The first time I met with Bob as a 1st yr grad student was on Dec 26, 2005. He asked if I'd be around on Dec 26. I had to confirm I heard him right. He was just back from Stockholm. Who would believe a new Nobel laureate would spend the day after xmas working as usual! #BobGrubbs

So saddened to hear your loss @barneygrubbs and the world's loss of the greatest and kindest person. Bob's impact and the fond memories will forever last. My heart goes with you and the Grubbs family.
