Osaka University researchers developed a recyclable polymer material retaining toughness.
Researchers at Osaka University have developed a new polymer material that overcomes the traditional tradeoff between toughness and recyclability. This innovative design enables controlled degradation into monomers, allowing for the recycling of high-performance plastics without sacrificing strength or resistance. The study, published in Applied Materials & Interfaces, suggests this breakthrough could significantly enhance sustainability across various industries reliant on polymers.
