Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Dakota S Stankowski"
- Dakota S Stankowski's recent research focuses on the selective hydrogenative depolymerization of the biodegradable polymer polybutylene succinate using the Ru-MACHO®-BH catalyst.
- The study demonstrates that under low-pressure hydrogen conditions, the catalyst effectively produces -butyrolactone through a novel transfer hydrogenation process that involves simultaneous dehydrogenation and hydrogenation to break down the polymer chains.
- Increasing the hydrogen pressure selectively shifts the reaction to generate 1,4-butanediol, showcasing the potential for targeted chemical transformations in polymer processing and recycling.
