Recent work in the Furgal Laboratory at BGSU is focused on the development of photoactive silicon-based materials with high porosity, phototriggered formation and/or controlled degradation of siloxane bonds, and photodynamic self-healable polymer systems…

Recent work in the Furgal Laboratory at BGSU is focused on the development of photoactive silicon-based materials with high porosity, phototriggered formation and/or controlled degradation of siloxane bonds, and photodynamic self-healable polymer systems…

Over the years there has been a surge of interest in developing supramolecular polymers because of the reversibility and tunability of incorporable metal-organic ligand interactions within them…

This presentation will showcase our recent work on the development of circular methodologies for siloxane-based elastomers and resins to demonstrate effective silicone recycling/upcycling…
