Duke University starts collaboration with the Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (ICReDD) at Hokkaido University. The Rubinstein group at Duke University will work alongside ICReDD’s Tetsuya Yamamoto and Jian Ping Gong to study polymer networks and double-network gels. The collaboration aims to understand the reaction kinetics and remarkable structural properties of these networks and creates a joint position held by Dr. Clement Koh, who will be a visiting scholar at Duke and postdoctoral researcher at ICReDD.
