Watch the video that high school student (and current SMU student) Raiya produced during her 2018 summer internship in the Son Lab.

Thiol-ene Chemistry

Thiol-ene and thiol-Michael reactions involve the addition of an S-H bond across a double or triple bond by either a free radical or ionic mechanism.

Degradable Polymers

Degradable polymers are of interest due to the worldwide plastics disposal problem.

Polyarylenes

Polyarylenes are highly aromatic polymers with interesting properties.

3D-Printing

We are interested in using 3D printing with polymers to create devices of complex shape.
