The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $359,224 Project Grant through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Cincinnati and Binghamton University for the development of new catalysts to promote small molecule conversion and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) upgrading. The primary objectives of this 3-year project are to: (i) examine a rational combination of ligands and metal centers for the hydrodechlorination of alkyl C-Cl bonds, (ii) explore C-Cl...
This $465,000 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of an upcycling strategy for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic waste through chemical transformations producing value-added products. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor Rebecca Braslau of the University of California, Santa Cruz will work to convert PVC into 1,5-hexadiene and other alkane products using mild temperatures and ambient pressure. These efforts aim...
The University of Southern California will receive $539,543 from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop environmentally friendly methods for recycling polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic waste. Drs. Megan Fieser and Shaama Mallikarjun Sharada will lead efforts to selectively dechlorinate or dehydrochlorinate PVC using homogeneous catalytic processes, with the goal of transforming PVC into...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $742,587 Project Grant through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration Division. The grant supports Princeton's research to develop degradable polymers derived from commodity plastic monomers. Key objectives include investigating the kinetics and mechanisms of cobalt-mediated radical copolymerization of isocyanides and acrylates,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $652,777 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Through this 4-year grant, Professor Erik J. Alexanian is developing chemical reagents to enable the selective diversification of polyolefin plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, through C-H bond functionalization. This approach aims to "upcycle" post-consumer...
This Project Grant award of $600,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program, supports Professor Matthew P. Conley of the University of California, Riverside in studying new catalysts for challenging chemical bond cleavage and formation reactions. The research focuses on metal oxide materials containing sulfate and pyrosulfate anions, particularly zirconium oxide, to understand their...
This five-year, $444,267 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will support research into developing an alternative approach to plastic conversion based on a catalytic plasma-mediated depolymerization process operating at ambient temperature and in liquid water. Funded under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the grant aims to detail the mechanisms of plasma-assisted depolymerization of plastics...
This $510,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to develop a practical and scalable approach for the universal compatibilization of polymers, facilitating the recycling of mixed plastic waste. The project, led by the University of California, Irvine, will investigate two innovative compatibilization methods based on dynamic covalent chemistry. The first method will introduce dynamic crosslinks...
