Speaker
Prof. Dionisios G. Vlachos (University of Delaware)

This talk will provide an overview of the different approaches for converting polyolefins to various products, including fuels, lubricants, and small olefins, and mechanistic insights into methane formation pathways and ways to minimize its formation. It will discuss the need for earth abundant catalysis and the role of heat transfer on product distribution.
