Internship Offer: Green Chemistry Research - Synthesis of a Library of New Phenol-Based Molecules for Application in Epoxy Resins
In the pursuit of sustainable development, green chemistry is transforming the way materials are
synthesized, used, and recycled. Epoxy resins, renowned for their strength, chemical resistance, and
thermal stability, are widely used across various industries. However, traditional epoxy resins rely on
non-renewable resources and create materials that are difficult to recycle due to their permanent
covalent bonds, posing significant environmental and sustainability challenges.

Event Description
Submit your abstract to the Symposium: Advancing Green Chemistry Education: The Process, Research and New Developments in Curricular Activities which will take place at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring 2025 meeting in CA& Hybrid.
Abstract
There is an increase in educational activities aimed at enhancing knowledge and use of Green Chemistry principles and applications. However, with demands in academia, this sometimes presents a barrier to wider adoption across the curriculum. This symposium explores the process of developing Green Chemistry activities, courses, and curricular changes, sharing how educators got started and progressed through development. The discussion will cover research, theory-based methodology, and pedagogical strategies used to revamp or develop activities, as well as chemical education research on this process. The session will also discuss the pivotal role of change agents—educators and researchers who drive the adoption of innovative practices and sustainable principles in education. By sharing the developmental journey and the theoretical underpinnings of our assessment strategies, the session aims to contribute to the broader discourse on advancing Green Chemistry education and to inspire ongoing research and implementation of effective teaching methodologies. Speakers from all sectors of the CHED community are invited to share how they are integrating green and sustainable chemistry, systems-thinking, toxicology, and social/environmental justice into their classrooms, laboratory curriculum, undergraduate research and outreach activities. Interdisciplinary and international perspectives are welcome, as are student speakers at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels, including those from minority-serving institutions.
Deadline for Submission is Monday, September 30.
