This award recognizes accomplishments and/or innovation of unusual merit in the field of basic or applied polymer science by younger scientists.

Jeremiah A. Johnson, the A. Thomas Guertin Professor of Chemistry, has been named the winner of the 2025 Carl S. Marvel Award for Creative Polymer Chemistry by The Division of Polymer Chemistry, Inc., a division of the American Chemical Society, commonly referred to as POLY.

Established in 1980 to recognize and encourage accomplishments and/or innovation of unusual merit in the field of basic or applied polymer science by younger scientists, the Carl S. Marvel Award is presented biennially in odd-numbered years in the spring at the national ACS meeting during the POLY/PMSE award program.

The award is currently sponsored and administered by the POLY division of the ACS, and named in honor of Carl S. Marvel, a National Medal of Science winner and a pioneer in the field of polymer science.

The Johnson laboratory seeks creative, macromolecular solutions to problems at the interface of chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
