I’m proud to say my first author paper was just accepted to Chem Sci! If you’re interested in how we chemically modify polystyrene waste under ball mill grinding conditions while maintaining high molar mass check it out! 🔨🥽.
Just in time for the latest paper in @ChemicalScience from @SkalaMorgan! In this work, we combine our interests in mechanochemistry and sustainability to demonstrate the viability of ball milling for PPM of plastic waste w/o deleterious chain scission
