Supported by a three-year, $463,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, two chemical engineering faculty researchers, Assoc. Profs. Dongming Xie and Hsi-Wu Wong, are developing technology that would help reduce waste PE through upcycling, a process in which discarded materials are converted into products of higher value than the original.
