Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical engineers have created a new two-dimensional polymer that self-assembles into sheets, unlike all other polymers which form one-dimensional chains. Until now, scientists had believed it was impossible to induce polymers to form 2D sheets. —Michael Strano.

One possible way to counteract rising global CO 2 emissions is to capture and sequester carbon from the atmosphere, but current methods are highly energy intensive. The new material is a porous coordination polymer (PCP, also known as MOF; metal-organic framework), a framework consisting of zinc metal ions. —Wu et al.

The companies are joining efforts to implement the carbon-negative UBQ thermoplastic ( earlier post ) into auto parts manufactured by Motherson Group for the automotive industry. UBQ GHG Neutralizer additives enable processors to directly compensate cO 2 -equivalent emissions (GHG) generated by plastic polymers. UBQ Industrial Grade.
