What if a thermoset could be strong and durable in use—but flow like a thermoplastic when it’s time to reprocess it?
That’s the vision behind the winning team’s pioneering work, recognized with the 2027 Cooperative Research Award in Polymer Science & Engineering.

Why the gap? PP's backbone has more of the carbon structures photo-oxidation attacks easily; PE resists better. Sunlight doesn't destroy plastic evenly — it exploits specific molecular weak points.
