Brantley Group Published in JACS
The Brantley group recently published a paper in JACS entitled “Electroediting of Soft Polymer Backbones” Alan Fried, Breana Wilson, and Nick Galan contributed to the research, under the supervision of Johnathan Brantley.
The paper discusses new methodology for degradation and functionalization of olefin-containing polymers through electrochemistry. This method can be carried out in both homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, in addition to using mild conditions and being experimentally simple.
The work was completed in memory of Alan Fried.
