The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) to design and develop infinitely recyclable and therefore closed-loop polymeric bio-based materials, specifically focusing on a new class of polymers called vitrimers that combine the processing and recycling ease of thermoplastics with the performance advantages of thermosets.
