The Boydston Group studies functional materials at multiple length scales. New reaction development at the molecular scale enables precision synthesis of polymer and network materials, with an emphasis on controlling function through structure. The group has an emphasis polymer synthesis, in particularl through the use of photoredox catalysis to control polymer molecular weight, dispersity, stereochemistry (tacticity), and functional group compatibility of the polymerization. The group also focuses efforts toward discovering and developing new chemistries for advanced additive manufacturing (3D printing), including new equipment design and platform integration.
