Nathaniel LyndMcKetta Department of Chemical EngineeringThe University of Texas-AustinAustin, TX Understanding Multicomponent Polymerization in the 21st Century Copolymerization is the incorporation of more than one type of repeat unit into a single polymer backbone. Many plastics used by society are copolymers, whose properties are determined by composition and sequence of different repeat units. We understand...

Fikile BrushettChemical EngineeringMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyCambridge, MA Towards electrochemical carbon dioxide capture using soluble, redox-active carriers Deep, society-wide decarbonization is a grand challenge of the 21st century, requiring the development, manufacture, and deployment of transformative carbon-neutral and carbon-negative technologies on a global scale. Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture coupled with storage or utilization is projected to...
