New paper out in Advanced Materials Technologies 🔮🧱📟!! Led by our mates in CAMD 🎥 at UNSW, multi component composites were made via 3D printing 🖨️. Acrylonitrile and polycarbosilane were combined with a photocurable 💡❤️‍🩹 resin and printed, providing a means to tune local microphase separation. After pyrolysis, a SiOC/carbon material was formed exhibiting the properties of both materials.

Great science 🧪, great time with colleagues 🤗 , and great food 🍕🍷🍝 at the Ultra High Temperature Ceramics 🥵😶‍🌫️🏺🧱conference in Sicily 🇮🇹 this week. I was very happy to present work from our group efforts in understanding structure property relationships for polymer derived ceramics, led by @haihackbarth @steeephch in the lab. It was interesting to see where people in the field were doing in this space as well, and all the newer concepts in making composite materials. See you in two years at Keystone ⛷️! #ceramics #ultrahightemperature #conference #sicily #naxos #etnavolcano #dontrentelectric #cantstopwontstop #dataordie

Great job to everyone who heroed through experiments at PETRA-III this week 🤡🎭🦸🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️. The team examined new advanced ceramic materials🧱 using PDF measurements in-situ during thermal treatment 🔥. Thanks to our mates a AFRL 🛫 and uni Montpellier 🍷🧀👒 for the assist, and @steeephch for leading the charge. Keep an eye out 👁️🍢 out for the new data published soon. #synchrotron #synchrotronlife #desy #petraiii #totalscattering #pdf #ceramics #polymerderivedceramics #pyrolysis #collabos #airforceresearchlaboratory #montpellier #lazygovernmentworker #theycantstopwontstop #dataordie

New paper out in Advanced Materials 📟🧱😁😎👍🌩️. Lead by our collaborators at the University of Adelaide 🍷🏄🦘, high entropy alloy 🌀🤘🧑‍🏭nanoparticles were developed for CO2 reduction reactions mediated by Li 🔋. Lots of really nice fundamental work done on this effort to better understand how electronic structure ⚡️influence reactivity ⚗️. Great work by all!

New paper out in Green Chemistry 💚🧪. In collaboration with researchers at CityU 🏙️ 🏫, new catalyst we designed for C-O cleavage of lignin 🌲 substrates, an important reaction to enable bio-derived aromatics. Great work by all, including @tarencataldo @yuweii77vv for the XAS experiments 💡🩻.

Just finished up with some experiments at P21 one of PETRA-III’s premier PDF beamlines 🩻🤓⚛️🇩🇪. We looked at a range of interesting electrocatalysis geared for sustainable fuel generation ☀️🪴🎈. Many thanks to our friends at the University of Montpellier 🇫🇷🥖 and @yuweii77vv for taking the lead on experiments. #synchrotronlife #synchrotron #synchrotronscience #xrd #atomicpdf #electrocatalysis #danishfoodingermany #itrainedalot #cantstopwontstop #dataordie

Great science and great times at the ACS Spring Meeting in NOLA 🎺🎷🍹🦞🦐🧫⚗️🔬. The group represented with four invited talks (including one by the fabulous @yuweii77vv 🧑‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫. It was great catching up with old friends and colleagues and meeting new collaborators. Big congrats to Sara Thoi for her award as well 🏆. This should be in NOLA every year! #acsspring2024 #nola #chemistry #phdlife #biomass #advancedceramics #highentropyalloys #gosara #cantstopwontstop #ontogermany #dataordie

Just wrapped up on an excellent AFOSR program review in DC 🏛️ on advanced composite materials 🧱🛩️🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬. Great to see all the good work, good friends and colleagues. Being a new newbie to this area, its was super informative 📚, and I’m really excited about future work in this program. Good stuff 😎. #research #programreview #composites #advancedmaterials #highentropy #cantstopwontstop #dataordie

Time to party while the advisor’s away 🎉🍾🏃‍♂️🤪. The group went out to celebrate @zuby57 new position at Griffith University 🦁, while also welcoming on our newest student, Tanveer! Good time for the lab for sure #party #milestones #goodtimeswithlabmates #maketime #backtothelab #dataordie

Great times at the AFRL Biotech Summit 🛫🧫🗻. it was amazing to see old friends and colleagues, get some new project started, and touring the old stomping ground 🥰🥰. Could have went without the tornado though… 🌪️🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️🙅#biotech #collabs #letsgetbusy #notornadoesplease #cantstopwontstop #dataordie

🆕 📝 published in Small Science 🔬🧪😎🙌. Lead by our colleagues in the Boyer group, nanostructured carbon materials were 3D printed 🖨️ from PAN polymer precursors. Self assembly 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 design processes allow for control over the microstructure of the carbon materials, enabling changes in thermal properties 🌡️. Great work by all 👍.

New paper 🗣️📝 out in ChemCatChem 🧪🐈🧪 😺😼😸😻. In this effort, we generated CeZr oxide nanocatalysts for organophosphate hydrolysis reactions 🌊❌, which are important from degrading toxic chemicals 😵. Here, biomineralization 🐚 processes are used to make the catalyst under aqueous conditions at neutral pH 🌎🐳🦔.
