Catalysis for the Upcycling of Polymers Research Highlights

Catalyzing the Transformation of Waste Plastics into Value-Added Products

Selective catalytic hydrogenolysis provides high-quality, value-added liquid products from polyethylene, enabling upcycling of an untapped feedstock

Rapid Threading of Polymers through Mesoporous Silica for Bioinspired Catalytic Polymer Upcycling

We have proved that polyethylene (PE) threads into silica pores, demonstrated that pores induce all-anti conformation of PE, and described in-and-out polymer motion and its energetics.
