Instead of treating plastic purely as waste, new research shows that it can be transformed into something useful — acetic acid, a key component of vinegar and an important industrial chemical.
The breakthrough offers a promising new approach to reducing plastic pollution through photocatalysis, a metabolic pathway ...
Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a ...
Researchers have developed a sunlight-driven process that breaks down common plastic waste and reassembles its carbon into ...
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a way to turn plastic waste into acetic acid, the main ingredient ...
A recently published study gives a vivid example of unusual chemical reactivity associated with organogold complexes. Using modern physical methods and computational studies, the authors propose a ...
Plastic to possibilities ...
A UK-based start-up, co-founded by Monash University PhD graduate Dr Rajan Lakshman, has secured £150,000 in seed funding from Carbon13 Ventures to commercialize technology developed at Monash.
A new study gives a vivid example of unusual chemical reactivity found in the reactions with organogold complexes. Using the complex of modern physical methods joined with computational studies, the ...
