Paper accepted!

 We are very happy to see this published! Scott's work on upcycling PVC to high-value waxes was accepted at Applied Catalysis B. This is a very promising methodology to prevent end-of-life PVC from being landfilled, converting PVC instead to a wax that can be used as an adhesive. Many thanks to VentureWell, the Vinyl Institute and the Oregon State Advantage Accelerator for funding! Also grateful to our collaborators, the teams of Dr. Wildenschild at OSU and Dr. Boudouris at Purdue!
