Kyle Kingsley defends his PhD Dissertation
Kyle Kingsley successfully defended his PhD dissertation entitled Features of Highly Hydrophobic Plant Oil-Based Vinyl Monomers in Cationic and Free Radical Polymerization.
Kyle obtained BS degree in Chemistry with a minor in Coatings and Polymeric Materials from North Dakota State University in the fall of 2013. He worked on PhD at NDSU in the Department of Coatings and Polymeric Materials under the guidance of Dr. Bret J. Chisholm before he joined our group in September 2016.

Congratulations, Kyle, on his successful defense!

Voronov gives invited presentation at 2018 EastWest Chemical Conference
Andriy Voronov gives an invited presentation entitled Monomers and Polymers from Plant/Vegetable Oils at 2nd EastWest Chemistry Conference in Lviv, Ukraine on October, 10-12, 2018. This conference organizers target contributions from all branches of chemistry and related areas such as nanoscience and nanotechnology, and bio-nano-materials and hope that the conference will be a very interdisciplinary scientific platform benefitting from all branches of chemistry. Voronov’s presentation is scheduled for the session Organic and Polymer Synthesis, Interfacial Modification, at a special session devoted to 200th Anniversary of the Lviv Polytechnic National University This conference is jointly organized by Turkish Chemical Society, Society of Chemists and Technologists of Macedonia and Lviv Polytechnic National University. For more details about this conference http://ewcc2018.org
Voronov chairs the Congress
Voronov serves as a Chair of the 4th World Congress on New Technologies (NewTech’18) in Madrid, Spain (August, 19-21). This event is composed of four co-located conferences, 9th International Conference on Nanotechnology: Fundamentals and Applications, 8th International Conference on Environmental Pollution and Remediation, 4th International Conference on Biotechnology and 2nd Bioengineering and International Conference on Energy Research and Technology. Each conference consists of an individual separate topic, but all of them share considerable overlap which is a basic idea for organizing this congress. The main goal is to bring together experts in various disciplines and fields from closely related but still different research areas. Voronov also gives a presentation entitled Versatile Monomer Platform for Plant Oil-Based Latex Coatings at 9th International Conference on Nanotechnology: Fundamentals and Applications.
