The Fang Research Group
August 17th, 2023
We are excited to announce that the Fang group has received another grant from the National Science Foundation (CHE-2304968). This funding will support our collaborative research with Dr. Xiaodan Gu from the University of Southern Mississippi on “Collaborative Research: Syntheses and Solution-Phase Properties of Rigid Conjugated Ladder Polymer Chains”. This grant underscores our ongoing commitment to studying the synthetic chemistry and polymer physics of conjugated ladder polymers.
