Jeffrey S. Moore

About

Jeffrey S. Moore received his B.S. degree in Chemistry in 1984 and Ph.D. in Materials Science in 1989 from the University of Illinois. He has served as an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Caltech and was an assistant professor at the University of Michigan before joining the faculty at the University of Illinois in 1993. He is a Stanley O. Ikenberry Endowed Chair, a member of the Beckman Institute, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor. His research focuses on polymer mechanochemistry, light-weight high-strength organic materials, morphogenic manufacturing, and self-healing polymers as part of the Autonomic Materials Systems group at the Beckman Institute. His group is dedicated to developing mechanically responsive materials that can heal themselves, warn of high stress, or repair electrical circuits, integrating ideas from physical organic chemistry and engineering with polymer synthesis. Moore is also interested in developing course-based research experiences for undergraduates and making molecular science accessible to the general public. He has received numerous awards and honors, including the Stephanie L. Kwolek Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry, and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

• Energy storage emerging: A perspective from the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research

  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 2020 · 337 citations

  Energy storage is an integral part of modern society. A contemporary example is the lithium (Li)-ion battery, which enabled the launch of the personal electronics revolution in 1991 and the first commercial electric vehicles in 2010. Most recently, Li-ion batteries have expanded into the electricity grid to firm variable renewable generation, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of transmission and distribution. Important applications continue to emerge including decarbonization of heavy-…

• Frontal Polymerizations: From Chemical Perspectives to Macroscopic Properties and Applications

  Chemical Reviews · 2023 · 204 citations

  The synthesis and processing of most thermoplastics and thermoset polymeric materials rely on energy-inefficient and environmentally burdensome manufacturing methods. Frontal polymerization is an attractive, scalable alternative due to its exploitation of polymerization heat that is generally wasted and unutilized. The only external energy needed for frontal polymerization is an initial thermal (or photo) stimulus that locally ignites the reaction. The subsequent reaction exothermicity provides…

• TENAYA and LUCERNE

  Ophthalmology · 2024 · 163 citations

  PURPOSE: To evaluate 2-year efficacy, durability, and safety of the bispecific antibody faricimab, which inhibits both angiopoietin-2 and VEGF-A. DESIGN: TENAYA (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT03823287) and LUCERNE (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT03823300) were identically designed, randomized, double-masked, active comparator-controlled phase 3 noninferiority trials. PARTICIPANTS: Treatment-naive patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) 50 years of age or older. M…

• Faricimab Treat-and-Extend for Diabetic Macular Edema

  Ophthalmology · 2023 · 133 citations

  PURPOSE: To evaluate the 2-year efficacy, durability, and safety of dual angiopoietin-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A pathway inhibition with intravitreal faricimab according to a personalized treat-and-extend (T&E)-based regimen with up to every-16-week dosing in the YOSEMITE and RHINE (ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers, NCT03622580 and NCT03622593, respectively) phase 3 trials of diabetic macular edema (DME). DESIGN: Randomized, double-masked, noninferiority phase 3 trials. PART…

• Efficient Manufacture, Deconstruction, and Upcycling of High-Performance Thermosets and Composites

  ACS Applied Engineering Materials · 2022 · 49 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  Thermoset polymers and fiber-reinforced polymer composites possess the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties necessary for energy-efficient vehicles and structures, but their energy-inefficient manufacturing and the lack of end-of-life management strategies render these materials unsustainable. Here, we demonstrate end-of-life deconstruction and upcycling of high-performance poly(dicyclopentadiene) (pDCPD) thermosets with a concurrent reduction in the energy demand for curing via frontal…
