Is it possible to selectively depolymerise mixed common plastics without plastic pre-sorting? The answer is yes! Give a look to this recent work published from the Dove Group #chemicalrecycling #depolymerization #polymerupcycling pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We have a sublime #WeekendReading choice for you today! Selective and Sequential Catalytic Chemical Depolymerization and Upcycling of Mixed Plastics by Spicer, Brandolese, and Dove, published #OpenAccess ➡️ go.acs.org/85O 900 downloads in 3 weeks 🤩 #ACSMacroLetters

We have an exciting PhD opportunity available in our group, studying the degradation of sustainable polymers in real-world environmental conditions in the University of Birmingham's brand new Molecular Sciences building! findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Congratulations to group members Louisa and Susanna and their team!

Check out our latest paper just published in ACS Sustainable Journals! In this work, led by Viviane Chiaradia, we developed a library of sustainably sourced photopolymer materials with tuneable thermomechanical properties for use in 3D printing 🍃 doi.org/10.1021/acssus…

Congratulations to Tianlai Xia and coauthors for winning the 2024 Atassi Research Paper Prize🎉! Their paper titled “Tuning the Functionality of Self-Assembled 2D Platelets in the Third Dimension” was published in JACS at the end of 2023. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Over the moon to see our work w/ Dove Group appearing today in Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…! We disclose a fundamental advance in photoresin technology for vat photopolymerization 3D printing that is congruent with principles of green chemistry and a circular economy. 1/8
