What this project investigates: The design and synthesis of chemical components that enable the production of plastics made from carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere.
How this will be addressed: By conducting laboratory experiments and trials with different chemical components.
Why it matters: Directly converting atmospheric carbon dioxide to functional materials with neutral environmental impacts is an efficient and desirable strategy for greenhouse gas mitigation and utilization.
