| Abstract | With the support of the Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry, Dr. Brantley of The University of Tennessee, Knoxville will explore how electricity can be used to convert plastics into new chemical building blocks. Currently, there is a critical need to develop new methods to recycle or upcycle the large quantities of waste plastics that are generated every year. Dr. Brantley and his team will investigate the use of electrochemistry to change the p |
