4E. STATEMENT OF “MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS” Research Since the promotion to the rank of Associate Professor, my research group has been active in four different areas related to polymer surfaces and interfaces. This work has led to nine Ph.D. graduates (Kyle Sontag, Gareth Sheppard, Eric Huddleston, Rachelle Arnold, Jenna Bilbrey, Joe Grubbs, Evan White, Jeremy Yatvin, Anandi Roy, and Jing Gao) and one M.S. graduate (Deborah Lehman) as well as 35 publications with 504 total citations as of Dec. 2016. Over this time period, I have had funding from NSF (DMR 093112, 2010-2016, $480,000, CHE 1058631, 2011-2014: $270,000; CHE 1412714: $282,000), US Army (2012- 2015, $145,000), Georgia Research Alliance (2014-2015, $85,000), Centers for Disease Control (2016- 2017, $180,000), Georgia Pacific Cellulose (2013-2015, $45,000), Danimer Scientific (2014-2019, $250,000), and the RWDC Environmental Stewardship Foundation (2017-2024, $5,300,000).

1. Functional Coatings using Post-Polymerization Modification and Click Chemistry. During the past four years a focus of research in my lab has centered on developing new coating platforms that can be functionalized using postpolymerizaiton modification (PPM). PPM is a strategy we have used to immobilize two or more different chemical functionalities onto substrates that contain covalently grafted polymer films. PPM exploits monomers with reactive pendant groups that are stable under the polymerization conditions but are readily modified via covalent attachment of the desired functionality. We have developed “click” or “click-like” reactions that are orthogonal, high yielding, and rapid. Some of these reactions include activated ester coupling, azide–alkyne cycloadditions, some Diels–Alder reactions, and the newly discovered sulfur-fluorine exchange reaction (SuFEx). We are a world leader in surface modification using PPM with 12 publications in high impact journals since 2012 (including Acc. Chem. Res., Angew. Chem. Inter. Ed., J. Am. Chem. Soc., ACS Nano, among others) and have helped to introduce these strategies to the materials and polymer science community. 2. Antimicrobial Coatings. Developing antimicrobial coatings to eliminate biotic contamination is a critical need for all surfaces, including medical, industrial, and domestic materials. The wide variety of materials used in these fields, from natural polymers to metals, require coatings that not only are antimicrobial, but also contain different surface chemistries for covalent immobilization. Alkyl “-onium” salts are potent biocides that have defied bacterial resistance mechanisms when confined to an interface. Over the past several years, our group has developed a universal photochemical strategy to covalently immobilize bactericidal polymers to essentially any surface containing C-H bonds. This has resulted in 6 patents and patent applications, and 3 publications in high impact journals. Furthermore, we have extended this universal strategy to impart other functionalities to surfaces, such as icephobicity and durable textile dyeing processes. The patent portfolio based on this technology has received more inquiries than any other technology developed at the University of Georgia to date. 3. Surface Initiated Kumada Catalyst Transfer Polycondensation. Our group has developed a surface- initiated chain growth polymerization mechanism for conjugated polymers called Kumada catalyst-transfer polycondensation that allows one to grow organic semiconducting and conducting polymers directly from an electrode interface. We have published 10 papers dealing with the organometallic cross-coupling reaction mechanism, ligand/catalyst design, and surface polymerization and characterization since 2012. Most importantly, we have used this chemistry to demonstrate three new types of organic semiconductor

Mater., 2016, 26, 3999-4006.); and thermal conductance management layers (ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2016, 8, 25578-25585). 4. Biodegradable and Bio-benign Materials. In the past several years, through industrial funding, our group has helped to develop sustainable materials that can be used in a variety of commercial applications. Much of this work has been funded by industry and has involved developing new hot melt adhesives, biodegradable waxes, coatings for controlled release fertilizers, and compostable paper coatings. The work has led to the hiring of 3 PhD students and one former Postdoctoral Scholar by Danimer Scientific (Joe Grubbs, Rachelle Arnold, and Satya Samanta) and Georgia Pacific (Jing Gao). Our interests now lie in developing new polymers that can replace persistent, non-degradable petroleum-based plastics in packaging and single use items that are the cause of plastic pollution around the globe. This has resulted in the establishment of the New Materials Institute at UGA of which I am the founding Director. The institute supports interdisciplinary sustainable materials research that takes a systems approach based on green engineering principles to address waste streams at the front end of materials design resulting in a circular materials economy that is both environmentally and economically sustainable.

Teaching The success that I have had in my research has also benefited my other roles as a professor here at UGA. For example, I have incorporated aspects of my research program into all courses, both graduate and undergraduate, that I have taught. At the graduate level, I teach students about the thermodynamics of polymer conformations, and use our research on stretched polymer chains to provide concrete examples of underlying theories. At the undergraduate level, I have made it a point to educate students about the amazing properties of polymeric materials and how they differ from small molecules with respect to both form and function. Furthermore, I have introduced more than 20 undergraduates to hypothesis-driven research opportunities in my group, which is a direct contrast to the training they receive in their laboratory classes. Several undergraduates who have worked in my group have co-authored manuscripts and gone on to pursue Ph.D. degrees after graduating from UGA.

Service University: I have served as the Director of the Integrated Bioscience and Nanotechnology Cleanroom since 2011. In this capacity, I have overseen all activities in this Office of the Vice President of Research user facility (personnel management, student training, reporting, billing, and equipment purchase, facilities maintenance and day to day activities). I have also served as the Executive director of the Biosystems Research Institute and revised the name and scope with approval from the University Council to establish the New Materials Institute at UGA. I have served on the Advisory board for the Vice President of Research, Faculty of Infectious Diseases, Nanoscale Science and Engineering, and the President’s Faculty Advisory Council. I have also actively been involved in recruiting new faculty (and administrators) in both Chemistry and Engineering, having led several searches at the Assistant and Associate Professor levels.

Professional: I have reviewed manuscripts (more than fifty since 2012) for the following professional journals: Nature Chemistry, Nature Materials, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewangte Chemie International Edition, Macromolecules, Biomacromolecules, Chemistry of Materials, Journal of Organic Chemistry, Langmuir, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, Chemical Communications, Journal of Materials Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, ACS Nano, ACS Macro Letters, ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, Chemistry – A European Journal.

I have also served as a reviewer and panelist for grants submitted to the National Science Foundation, ACS Petroleum Research Fund, and the Army Research Office.
