UA Little Rock Student Leads Polymer Chemistry Project During Summer Internship at Sherwin-Williams

2024-10-25 - 2025-01

A University of Arkansas at Little Rock student gained invaluable hands-on experience this summer while interning at Sherwin-Williams’ research and development site in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“This experience prepared me for my future career by giving me hands-on exposure to polymer chemistry and a deeper understanding of how chemistry is applied in industry,” said MaryGrace McAfee, a senior double major in biology and chemistry from Texarkana. “The diversity of tasks and learning opportunities made the experience both challenging and rewarding.”
Specializing in polymer chemistry, McAfee managed her own project to develop and test a new polymer for coil coatings.
“I researched polymers with the goal of developing improved coil coatings for metal surfaces,” McAfee said. “Coil coating is a fast and continuous process that allows metal to be pre-painted before fabrication, which offers significant efficiency benefits. Researching this work is important because metal surfaces often require specialized coatings for different applications, each with distinct performance requirements such as durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic needs. By formulating polymers tailored to these specific applications, we ensure that the coatings deliver optimal performance, providing customers with high-quality, reliable products for their various needs.”

McAfee presented her findings to Sherwin-Williams employees and leaders during a presentation and poster session. She is also grateful for the new opportunities she gained from the summer internship.
“At Sherwin-Williams, I had had the opportunity to work with large molecules, gaining new lab techniques, exploring different synthesis routes, and broadening my perspective on organic chemistry,” she said. “I also had the opportunity to collaborate with various chemistry groups, which improved my communication and teamwork skills, essential for working on complex projects. Additionally, I learned valuable insights into how chemistry is practiced in a corporate setting, giving me a clearer understanding of what it’s like to work in the industry.”
After the Donaghey Scholar graduates next May, McAfee plans to attend graduate school to earn a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, but she will look on this summer internship as a major growing point in her professional career.
“I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to my mentor at Sherwin-Williams, Andy Tangen, and the entire polymer group for their incredible guidance and expertise throughout the summer,” McAfee said. “I also want to thank Sherwin-Williams for providing such a fantastic internship experience. They are a company that truly cares about their employees and is committed to advancing chemistry in innovative and impactful ways.”

Stronger, greener superglue: Biodegradable polymer outperforms commercial options

2025-01-17 - 2025-01

Researchers at Colorado State University and their partners have developed an adhesive polymer that is stronger than current commercially available options while also being biodegradable and reusable. The findings, described in Science, show how the common, naturally occurring polymer P3HB can be chemically re-engineered for use as a strong yet sustainable bonding agent.


Adhesives are commonly used in automotives, packaging, electronics, solar cells and construction, among many other areas. Together they make up a roughly $50 billion industry that supports much of our modern life but also contributes to the mounting issue of plastic waste. The paper describes the team's work using experimental, simulation and process modeling to develop a replacement polymer.

The project was led by University Distinguished Professor Eugene Chen in the Department of Chemistry. Other partners on the paper include Gregg Beckham at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Professor Ting Xu at the University of California, Berkeley and researchers from their groups.

Chen explained that poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), known as P3HB, is a natural, biobased and biodegradable polymer that can be produced by microbes under the right biological conditions. While the polymer is not adhesive when made that way, his lab was able to chemically re-engineer its structure to now deliver stronger adhesion than the common petroleum-derived, nonbiodegradable options when used on various substrates or surfaces such as aluminum, glass and wood. The adhesion strength of the re-engineered P3HB can also be tuned to accommodate different application needs.

The findings are part of a larger goal by Chen's group to improve and expand our ability to tackle the global plastics pollution crisis. His team is involved in many efforts to develop chemically recyclable, biodegradable, and overall more sustainable alternatives to today's plastic materials. He said that while many people inherently recognize the life cycle issues that come with a disposable water bottle, adhesives present more daunting issues with fewer potential solutions.

"Petroleum-based thermoset adhesives such as Gorilla Glue and J-B Weld, along with thermoplastic hot melts, can be very difficult or even impossible to recycle or recover—primarily because of their strong bonds to other materials," he said. "Our approach instead offers a biodegradable material that can be used in a variety of industries with tunable or even higher strength compared to those options."

Ethan Quinn is a Ph.D. student at CSU and served as a co-lead author on the paper with postdoctoral researcher Zhen Zhang. Quinn said he and Zhang led work around the creation and testing of the material.

"We developed a sample P3HB glue stick and were able to use it with a commercially available glue gun to test its application in sealing cardboard boxes and other properties on steel plates," Quinn said. "I knew the data supported it being stronger
