polymerization to make various homopolymers and di-, tri-, and tetra-block copolymers of butadiene and styrene. We also have been synthesizing many new homopolmer, block copolymer, and random copolymer materials using ROMP techniques with norbornene and oxanorbornene monomers we have synthesized in house. Copolymer Compatibilization of Polymer Blends Copolymers have often been used to compatibilize polymer blends through favorable interactions with the blend domains. One monomer of the copolymer will

TACOMA, WASH. (Feb. 29, 2016)- Garrett Wade bounced from desk to desk in a crowded classroom one recent Thursday morning, guiding his students through the online program they were learning at Sylvester Middle School in Burien. “Mr. Wade! Mr. Wade! I need your help,” a…
department recently earned a $294,000 block grant to be collected annually this year and next, for a total of nearly $590,000 over two years. The money will fund scholarships for 21 students enrolled in the ARC program each year. The program also is partnering with regional school districts, including Franklin Pierce, Bethel, Puyallup and Clover Park, as well as the Puget Sound Educational Service District, which works to improve the quality, equity and efficiency of of programs in K-12 education

Sophia Mahr ’18 analyzed how and why medical providers repeatedly and deliberately harmed people in the name of medical science by conducting non-consensual experiments on their subjects.
with the student.” Now, with about a year left at the university, Mahr feels better prepared for her next steps. She recently completed a Minneapolis-based internship with a refugee resettlement and immigration program and is figuring out how she can continue to aid refugees amid ever-growing crises around the world. “I know in my heart that I want to help with refugee migration,” she said. “This research is not my finale, it’s a building block.” In the meantime, she will continue to urge her peers

TACOMA, WASH. (Feb. 4, 2016)- Kamari Sharpley-Ragin reluctantly admits that he used to joke about racism. The ninth-grader from Lincoln High School in Tacoma says it didn’t seem like a big deal, since he never really experienced overt discrimination himself. Now, he says he knows…
representations of racism and how to fight it. PLU students also cultivated a handbook called “AWAKE: A Handbook on Fighting Racism” that will be distributed to all participants by the end of February. Kamari, reflecting on what he learned over the four-week course, sat in the high school cafeteria days before the big performance diligently tracing block letters that spelled “equality” on a giant puzzle piece for his group’s project titled “Keep an Open Mind.” “We’re making a puzzle that represents what would

lipid perturbation. The data from this and other structure-function relationship studies can be applied towards the development of novel antibiotics to be used against multi-resistant antibiotics. 1:50 pm - Anionic Synthesis of Multi-Block Copolymers Under Inert ConditionsKurtis Fairley, Senior Capstone Seminar Multiblock copolymers are thought to be very effective additives in polymer blends. Multiblock copolymers of polybutadiene and polystyrene were synthesized using positive pressure anionic

effectiveness in a model polymer blend systemGregory Peterson, Senior Capstone Seminar Controlled living anionic polymerization was employed to synthesize tetrablock copolymers in order to determine their compatibilizing ability in polymer blends. The tetrablocks were prepared with alternating polystyrene and polybutadiene blocks and goal block molecular weights of 5K and 10K. The copolymers were characterized with GPC and NMR, which demonstrated their monodisperse nature and block content. The tetrablock’s

TACOMA, WASH. (April 6, 2016)-The seventh episode of “Open to Interpretation” features a discussion of the word “failure” among host and Associate Professor of Communication Amy Young, Associate Professor of Art and Design Jp Avila , and Assistant Professor of Business Kory Brown . “Open…
possibility? Jp Avila: I think for art and design, built-in failure is within the critique. There’s a chance to come in and say, “Here’s what I have thus far.” Whether that is, “It’s almost done,” or, “What they perceive is almost done,” or, “I’ve hit a road block and I can’t move on from here.” Giving them that chance to say, “Okay, here’s what’s working, here’s what’s not working. Here’s how to move forward with it.” Amy Young: I know you do a lot of check-ins with people irregularly in order to give

tritlylation of carbon 5. This lays the foundation for beginning the next step in the synthesis to ultimately create 6R- or 6S-fluorinated analogues of shikimic acid. 4:15 pm - Analyzing the Nanomorphology of Novel Diblock Copolymers for Potential Use as Solid Polymer Electrolytes Kaitlin Gardiner, Capstone Senior Seminar Novel diblock copolymers were synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization for the potential implementation as a solid polymer electrolyte in lithium ion batteries.
