AbstractWith this award, Professors Linda Broadbelt and Eugene Chen of Northwestern University (NU) and Colorado State University (CSU), respectively, are studying data-driven design of recyclable plastics using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). A large majority of today's commodity polymers were invented in the 1930s – 1950s and further developed for performance, durability, profitability, scalability, and disposability, rather than for efficient reuse of resources at their end of l
