Polymer for Sustainability

 Plastics play a crucial role in nearly every industrial sector, but their non-degradable nature has significantly contributed to plastic pollution and environmental challenges globally. Most conventional plastics are not aligned with the principles of a sustainable circular economy. Our research group focuses on developing depolymerization of commercial plastics to enable efficient recycling and minimize environmental impact. By advancing these materials and technologies, we aim to address the growing plastic waste crisis and foster a greener, more sustainable future. Another aspect is to utilize the developed materials for environmental remediation, including but not limited to contaminant removal from water, oil spill remediation, heavy metal removal from water.
