Structure-Property Relationships of Supported Palladium and Rhenium Oxide for the Alkane Rearrangement of Hydrocarbons and Deconstruction of Polyethylene via Tandem Dehydrogenation and Olefin Metathesis

Creator:: Moore, Selena C.
Abstract:: The rapid accumulation of plastic waste in landfill, waterways and oceans is becoming a critical problem, one that current recycling technologies are not capable of solving. Recent proposed approaches in the depolymerization of waste plastics employ an Olefin-Intermediate Process (OIP), where feedstocks like polyolefin plastics are ‘activated,’ producing an olefin...

Hold the Plastic, Please: An Investigation of Sea Otter Exposure to Microparticles and Microplastics Using Scat and Diet Analysis

Creator:: Van Brocklin, Jennifer E.
Abstract:: Sea otters act as valuable indicators of ecosystem health and consume prey items that contain anthropogenic microparticles, including microplastics. Microplastic ingestion can exert a wide range of deleterious effects depending on the organism and plastic type. We investigated the ingestion of microparticles by wild sea otters (Enhydra lutris) in Alaska...
