Researchers at Flinders University have developed a UV-based method for synthesizing sustainable and recyclable sulfur-rich polymers, enhancing their applicability in high-value sectors such as lithium-sulfur batteries and antimicrobial agents. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the technique utilizes UV light to connect monomer building blocks and allows for recycling through UV exposure or heating, promoting environmentally friendly production conditions. This innovation, achieved in collaboration with the University of Tasmania and Deakin University, significantly improves the adaptability and affordability of these materials.
