Catalytic Hydroxylation of Polyethylenes
Polyolefins account for 60% of global plastic consumption, but many potential applications of polyolefins require that their properties, such as compatibility with polar polymers, adhesion, gas permeability, and surface wetting, be improved.

Upcycling polyethylene into closed-loop recyclable polymers through titanosilicate catalyzed C-H oxidation and in-chain heteroatom insertion [PDF]
Polyolefins are the most widely produced type of plastics owing to their low production cost and favorable properties. Their polymer backbone consists solely of inert C-C bonds, making them resistant and durable materials.
