Digestion of PET using Long Chain Alcohols
Background Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a commodity plastic that is used in many types of single-use applications (e.g., to-go containers, food packaging, water bottles). The accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and in the environment is fueling a greater push to advance polymer recycling technology. Chemically recycling plastics to...

Mixed Waste Plastics as Compatibilizers in Asphalt
Background Nearly 94% of all public roads in the United States are paved with asphalt, and span over 4 million miles in total. However, asphalt pavement degrades when it is exposed to UV rays and oxidation. Current asphalt pavement is also prone to premature cracking and moisture damage, which both further shorten its service life. As the population...

Gas diffusion electrodes, membrane-electrode assemblies and methods for the production thereof
INV- 15070 Background Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are considered to be one of the most promising sources of clean electrical energy for the near future. PEMFC are electrochemical generators which produce direct electrical current from a gaseous fuel (typically hydrogen, pure or in a mixture) and a gaseous oxidant, normally consisting...
