• Chemists develop radical way to make it easier, more profitable to recycle plastic
  

  The United States generates more plastic trash than any other country – about 46.3 million tons of it -- or 287 pounds per person a year,according to a 2020 study.   The country’s 9% rate of recycling will never keep up. Why so low? The chemistry of today’s plastics makes most difficult to recycle. more

• Plastics could see a second life as biodegradable surfactants
  

  Scientists at the Institute for Cooperative Upcycling of Plastics (iCOUP), an Energy Frontier Research Center led by Ames Laboratory, have discovered a chemical process that provides biodegradable, valuable chemicals, which are used as surfactants and detergents in a range of applications, from disc more

• A mild way to upcycle plastics used in bottles into fuel and other high-value products
  

  Plastic is ubiquitous in people's lives. Yet, when plastic-containing items have fulfilled their missions, only a small amount is recycled into new products, which are often of lower quality compared to the original material. And, transforming this waste into high-value chemicals requires substantia more

• Sequential Modification of ADMET Polyketone via Oxime Chemistry and Electrophilic Alkoxyetherification

  Fu-Rong Zeng, Qi-Lin Zhu, Zi-Long Li Post-polymerization modification of ADMET polyketone was conducted in a sequential manner via oxime chemistry and electrophilic alkoxyetherification. Complete conversion of the reactive site was realized in both steps, and the two modification reactions showed more

• Tailoring 2D and 3D Molecular Sieves Structures for Polyolefins Composites: Do All Roads Lead to Remarkable Performances?

  Multiple synthetic strategies were perfomed in order to tether zirconium-based catalyst to the 2D and 3D molecular sieves for olefins polymerizations. The anchoring of fluorene silane to the mesoporous MCM-41 was performed in order to obtain a stable catalyst for olefin polymerization (1@MCM-41). Us more

• Poly(lactic acid)/areca fiber laminate composites processed via film stacking technique

  ABSTRACT Bio‐based laminate composites, consisting of alternatively stacked poly(lactic acid) (PLA) sheet and randomly oriented areca fiber mat, were processed via film stacking technique (FST). FST was chosen as it is a commercially viable, low energy‐intensive process for fabricating fiber‐rei more
