In this presentation I will discuss different approaches to improve the sustainability of the plastics industry that the Huber group has worked on. The Center for Upcycling of Waste Plastics (www.cuwp.org) is developing the scientific, engineering, and economic information that will enable the chemical recycling...
Ceria is an essential component in the heterogeneous catalysis for non-reductive CO2 conversion and rhenium-catalyzed deoxydehydration (DODH). Ceria is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the reactions such as alcohols+CO2, amines+CO2, and alcohols+amines+CO2 which give corresponding organic carbonates [1], urea derivatives [2], and carbamates [3]. When the...
Conventional reactions are mostly driven by heat, light, and electricity to overcome activation barriers. They are named as thermochemistry, photochemistry, and electrochemistry, respectively. Likewise, chemical reactions induced by mechanical actions, such as abrasion, friction, cracking, colliding, and so on, are defined as mechanochemistry. The most...
Dr. Inyong Park, principal researcher of Department of Urban Environment Research at Korea institute of machinery and materials (KIMM), will deliver a presentation detailing the ongoing research and advancements at KIMM. He will begin with a brief introduction to KIMM, followed by an overview of...

Interfacial two- and three-dimensional heterostructures that incorporate ammonium ligand intercalation have enabled rapid progress toward the goal of uniting performance with stability in perovskite solar cells. However, as the field continues to seek ever-higher durability, additional tools that avoid progressive ligand intercalation are needed to...
Biodegradable polymer nanoparticles are synthesized using a membrane-assisted encapsulation technique [1], incorporating polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) or poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate, P(3HB-co-4HB)) into a chloroform-in-water emulsion, followed by chloroform evaporation. Precise control over the diameter of these PHA particles is achieved by adjusting the PHA concentration or emulsion diameter, and...
