Research Summary

Most polymer materials are not recycled today because they are not designed to be recyclable. Our research group is broadly interested in recyclable-by-design polymer materials that enable a circular economy of plastics, composites, flexible electronics, etc. Our approach integrates molecular design, structure-property relationship, and performance-driven process development.
