5/8/2023 Professor Carter Named University Provost Professor
Kenneth Carter was one of four UMass professors bestowed as University Provost Professor. This campus-level faculty honorific recognizes exceptional achievement in research or creative activity and in teaching. “It is my great honor to recognize the exceptional work of our 2023 Provost Professors,” says Provost Serio. “They are truly emblematic of the excellence of our faculty.”The 2023 Provost Professors were selected from a competitive group of nominations by the Provost Professor Selection Committee. The Provost Professor title is designated for tenure-system faculty who hold the rank of professor and do not hold a named or distinguished professorship.

2018 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Director’s Award
December 18, 2018
Kenneth Carter and Soeun Kim have received the 2018 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Director’s Award: Science and Technology for a scientific accomplishment that represents a significant breakthrough recognized both within the Laboratory and externally. The award stems from work on adaptive protective and breathable garments for protection against chemical/biological warfare threats. They have developed materials that are responsive to chemical warfare agents (CWAs) Upon attack the CWAs are neutralized and concurrently the contaminated layer undergoes an exfoliation or shedding process to remove the threat from the surface. This is part of a DTRA-funded project CBT-PHM-03, Dynamic Multifunctional Materials for a Second Skin [D(MS)2].
Dithienobenzimidazole-Containing Conjugated Donor-Acceptor Polymers: Synthesis and Characterization
December 14, 2018
Harris and Carter describe the synthesis and characterization of two new semiconducting conjugated polymers. The polymers’ structure is scrutinized using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight spectroscopy and the effect of adding acid and base to the amphiprotic polymers is assessed. These analyses reveal interesting observations regarding these unique systems which shed light upon areas in need of improvement in conjugated polymer synthesis.
