Self‐Assembly Methods Induce Different Individual‐Polymer‐Block Solvation Responses Different processing methods of the otherwise same block copolymer produce materials that respond distinctly to solvent stimuli. FLIM, which reveals changes in the tightness or looseness of individua...

Congratulations to Pía López and Dr. Or Eivgi for finding effects of assembly methods on solvation responses of polymers, now in Chem. Eur. J.! Great to work with our collaborators on SAXS data, Nehal Idris and Prof. Joe Patterson.

In these times, it's important to remember our core values. Welcome new PhD group members Roee Dagan and Maxi Ledesma! They are discovering strategies for catalyst recycling and organic synthesis reaction sustainability using fluorescence microscopy.
