Welcome to MONET

Center for the Chemistry of Molecularly Optimized NETworks

The National Science Foundation

MONET's overarching goal is to advance the field of polymer science through innovative research while actively engaging and inspiring the public.

MONET's polymer scientists advance interconnected, adaptive molecular networks.

Graphical Abstract

MONET's polymer scientists drive interconnected, adaptive societal networks.

Signature Professional Development Experiences (or SPDEs, pronounced "speedies") are student-driven, center-supported deep-dives aligned with one of the four broader impacts areas.

The chemistry of the future is driven by:

Through our research programs and broader impacts, we aim to enhance retention in the sciences, increase interest in pursuing a Ph.D., and expand participation.

We are dedicated to promoting STEM:

We aim to provide opportunities for as many people as possible to engage meaningfully with STEM.
We partner with a range of organizations to broaden participation widely.

If you would like to propose a partnership to broaden participation in STEM, please contact us.
