Welcome to the Moore Group.  Our research involves the synthesis and study of large organic molecules and the discovery of new polymeric materials. Most projects relate to one of three areas: synthetic models of polymer folding, self-healing polymers, or supramolecular polymerization. In general, our group uses the tools of synthetic and physical organic chemistry to address problems at the interface of chemistry and materials science. More in-depth information about our research can be found on our research page. -JSM
