Polymer upcycling research -- Project kickoff!

Polymer upcycling research is underway! Had a great project kickoff discussion today at our Neuros site (left). Nice change of scenery from Jurong Island (right). 

Grateful for the funding via my 2021 A*STAR Career Development Award ($182K USD). We will be investigating polymer upcycling via selective C-H functionalizations.
