Synthesis of CO2 based biodegradable polymers using novel catalyst systems and enhancing the properties of polymers by developing nanocomposites and blends.PI: Dr. Ramesh Babu and Dr. Aidan McDonald, Staff: Arturo Villechenous Rojo (PD)

For sustainable large-scale utilization of CO2, the commodity products of CO2 conversion processes should be economically viable and in high demand. However, there are a number of problems and limitations in existing approaches in the capture and conversion of CO2 into useful chemical products. This proposal aims to develop new layered double hydroxide (LDH) based…
