Picture this: You have a bag of heavily used clothes that can no longer be donated taking up space in your closet, so you drop it off at your local recycling
103.5 pounds (47 kilograms) – that’s the average amount of textile waste each American produced in 2018. Things like clothing, footwear, sheets, towels, and
We have been working on the identification and development of repeatable synthesis techniques for DAC materials for the purposes of generating repeatable samples for evaluating DAC characterization techniques. We have initially focused on impregnated and grafted aminosilane-silica materials. We are
Interested in collaborating? See below What does this project do for industry? Current measurement techniques are unable to follow the reaction pathways during catalysis and are limited to observing only the end products or looking at catalysts outside of realistic reaction conditions. Our new
Objectives To advance US competitiveness in Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Carbon Capture, Usage, and Sequestration (CCUS) Use advanced neutron scattering techniques to understand the adsorption process for the most promising materials for adsorption-based carbon capture and provide avenues to
This project’s purpose is to synthesize and characterize model thermoplastics, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and mixed resins with systematic variation of polymer sequence, chemistry, and architectures to generate libraries of quantitative structure-property relationships validated by multiple
Polyesters comprise the greatest proportion of textile fibers and are found in various everyday goods; hence, polyester fibers are a significant source of

A circular economy moves from the current linear model of production and consumption, i.e., the take-make-use-dispose model, to one that uses resources
One of the key aspects of Circular Economy (CE), particularly when focusing on the product level, lies in its emphasis on designing products to facilitate the

The circular economy (CE) shifts from a linear economy (LE) to prioritize preserving value improving resource efficiency through closed loops. This shift
Description The Seebeck coefficient is a widely measured transport property that provides fundamental information on charge carrier transport and the electronic
