MSE Thesis Defense: “Chain and Pendant Architecture Effects in Associating Polyolefins” Eli Jared Fastow
The United States recycles less than 9% of plastic waste, representing a tremendous environmental catastrophe and a loss of embodied value. This dissertation presents the structure-property relationships of functional polymers made from an upcycling approach targeting polyolefins for polymer-to-polymer conversions. The overall strategy proceeds by first dehydrogenating polyolefins, then functionalizing the resulting C=C to generate […]
