Polymeric materials derived from renewable feedstock attract a lot of attention in recent years, targeting to replace currently used petroleum-based counterparts…

In recent years, extensive research has been explored in producing naturally derived, bio-renewable, and biodegradable polymers as alternatives to petroleum-based plastics to lessen the exhaustion of non-renewable fossil resources…

While the use of naturally derived materials is a desirable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, many environmentally friendly polymers have not been used on large scales without chemical modifications to enhance their thermal and mechanical properties…

There currently exists an extreme need for a replacement for the current aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs), which utilize fluorinated surfactants…

Although the use of naturally derived materials is being persued as an attractive alternative to petroleum-based plastics for environmental, ecological, and economic reasons, many polymers derived from renewable resources have not been used on their own or at large scales without chemical modificat…

Growing environmental concerns associated with the production and disposal of traditional plastics, the depletion of non-renewable fossil resources, as well as pollution of landfills and the oceans have motivated researchers to pursue alternatives to petroleum-based materials…

There presently exists an extreme need for a replacement for the current aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs), which utilize fluorinated surfactants. To this end, hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) stand out as potential components of a fluorine-free firefighting foam…

We have developed an approach to fabricate polymer-carbon structures using polyacrylonitrile-based (PAN) carbon precursors via 3-D printing…

An approach has been developed to fabricate moldable and carbonizable polyacrylonitrile-based (PAN) carbon precursors…

Understanding thermal degradation of polyolefins on the mesoscale can result in development of more efficient strategies for recycling and upcycling of a range of thermoplastics. Herein we develop a mesoscale framework to model random scission at high temperatures in polyethylene melts…

Polyolefins (PO) have an excellent physical and mechanical properties and are used in various practically important applications. However, the industrial-scale recycling of PO is at a very low scale. Here, we demonstrate a pathway to fabricate chemically recyclable polyolefins…

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is a 3D printing technique used both in industries and by hobbyists but is restricted in application due to its limited range of usable materials…

3D printing technologies such as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) have expanded greatly over the past two decades due to the desire for more environmentally conscious fabrication techniques…

As global logistics become increasingly unstable, businesses are seeking to simplify their supply chains through in-house manufacturing. 3D printing is an emerging technology that promises less reliance on costly outsourced production for custom-made parts…

Polyolefins (POs) are very inexpensive materials with excellent physical and mechanical properties that are used in various practically important applications(~65% of all thermoplastic materials). However, the industrial-scale recycling of POs is at a very low scale (~16…

Mechanical recycling is an integral part of contributing to a fully circular life cycle of polymer products by taking a used final product and reprocessing it into new products…

As 3D printed objects increase in size and complexity, so do the time and resources required to produce them. Thus, there is a need to assemble and repair large, multicomponent printed structures…

One of the most produced polymer materials, and the majority (~65%) of the thermoplastic polymer materials in use are polyolefins (POs). Based on 2012, only 16.2% of POs are recycled…
