The Sulfur Solution: New Chemistry for Recyclable and High-Performance Polymers

The Sulfur Solution is an ACS webinar presenting new approaches to sulfur polymer chemistry for recyclable and high-performance materials. Speakers showcase how elemental sulfur and sulfur-derived feedstocks can be converted into functional materials with unusual optical properties, practical processability, and recycling opportunities. The event covers applications in plastic optics and photonics, safer resource recovery (including gold mining and e-waste recycling), and approaches to enable circular polymer systems.

Access to expert presentations on sulfur polymerization strategies; learning outcomes include design of sulfur-rich polymers, high-refractive-index materials, and approaches to recyclable polymer systems; practical techniques such as molding and photolithography are discussed.
