2021 – Development of highly recyclable plastics, which break down into harmless products.
Chemical Engineering
About This Innovation
* Broadbelt was awarded a grant to create highly recyclable plastics. * Developed simulations to better understand the kinetics of hydrocarbon chemistry * Created computational models in which molecules are represented as matrices, manipulations of which allow reactions to take place. * Broadbelt has studied biofuels, polymers and nanocomposite materials that automatically generate reaction mechanisms.
