Technologies for Improving the Sustainability of the Plastics Industry

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...

Mechanochemistry for sustainable applications

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...
