Triple threat polymer captures and releases

Karen L. Wooley (left) WUSTL James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor in Arts & Sciences, chemistry doctoral student Brooke Van Horn, and chemistry postdoctoral researcher Jinqi Xu, Ph.D., examine polymer samples in Wooley's McMillan Hall office. Wooley and her collaborators have mixed two normally incompatible polymers and have come up with nanoparticles that make a perfect host to serve guest molecules. David Kilper/WUSTL Photo
