Electrochemistry Enables Upcycling of Polymer Waste into High-Performance Materials

September 19, 2025
A research team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (led by Prof. Jeffrey S. Moore with postdocs Yuting Zhou and Zhenchuang Xu) has developed an electrochemical method to convert low-value oligomer fragments from carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) waste into polymer networks with improved mechanical properties. The results, published in Nature Synthesis, show how modifying
