Rice University scientists have turned their attention to Joule heating of the material, a byproduct of plastic recycling processes. A strong jolt of energy flashes it into graphene. The technique by ...

Pyrolyzed plastic ash left over from chemical recycling is considered worthless, but perhaps not for long. Rice University scientists have turned their attention to Joule heating of the material, a by ...

A new flash graphene process, adapted to convert worthless pyrolyzed plastic ash, could be used to strengthen concrete and toughen plastics used in medicine, energy and packaging applications.
