Royal Society of Chemistry Highlights Torkelson Manuscript in Themed Collection on Polymer Upcycling
The Royal Society of Chemistry has included a recent article from John Torkelson’s research group within its new Themed Collection on Polymer Upcycling, which ”aims to explore the latest developments in materials characterization, polymer design and synthesis, physical chemistry and molecular understanding of plastic decomposition and transformation that contribute to a broad knowledge base for upcycling waste plastics.” The article, which demonstrates a method for upcycling thermoplastic polyethylene through conversion into covalent adaptable networks, is one of only four discussed in the collection’s introductory editorial. This recognition follows the Royal Society’s inclusion of the November 2022 article among its most popular of last year.
