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!

Paper published in Nature Catalysis!

Our paper on the fundamental relations that determine C-O bond activation over oxides was just published in Nature Catalysis! This is the successful conclusion of 3 years of hard work by a great group of people. We couldn't have done it without our theorist collaborators, Glen Jenness, now at ERDC and, especially, Alexander Mironenko, now at UChicago, and soon to be assistant professor at UIUC!
