Solving for Greater Good
At Rice Engineering and Computing, we collaborate with scientists and scholars across campus and around the world to solve some of the most urgent issues of our time. Through our five research focus areas – Health and Well-being, Energy and Sustainability, Resilient and Adaptive Communities, Advanced Materials, and Future Computing – we are solving for greater good.
Breakthrough in carbon nanotube recycling paves way for sustainable materials
Rice researchers have demonstrated that carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers can be fully recycled without any loss in their structure or properties, creating a new path forward for sustainable materials.
This discovery positions CNT fibers as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials like metals, polymers and the much larger carbon fibers, which are notoriously difficult to recycle.
