Study finds how plastic waste can be converted to electronic devices

University of Delaware and Argonne scientists, led by Kayser and Kaphan, converted Styrofoam to PEDOT: PSS using 1,3-Disulfonic acid imidazolium chloride. They optimized reactions using various conditions, verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Their eco-friendly polymer matched commercial equivalents, using stoichiometric ratios, offering broader sustainability applications.
