Jon Husband

Dr Jon Husband presents his research on low temperature depolymerisation of consumer viny plastics.

#SummerShowcase: Dr Jon Husband (@jonhusband.bsky.social) shows how #chemists can make #plastics more sustainable rather than replacing them entirely - reducing greenhouse gas emissions through better materials and recycling solutions for items like polystyrene and disposable gloves.

Very excited to start my Research Programme into solving issues around plastic and material recycling, using green chemistry, at the amazing ISCC and chemistry department at Bath!

If you want to collaborate or work on recycling challenging materials and mixed waste streams, please get in touch!

Dr Jon Husband talks to a parent and child about the carbon emission game.

Excited to share our work at @festivaloftomorrow.bsky.social in #Swindon! ISCC & iCAST showcased sustainable materials through interactive demos, captivating visitors of all ages. Seeing families engage with climate solutions reminds us why our #research matters. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ISCC

Visible light–triggered depolymerization of commercial polymethacrylates The reversion of vinyl polymers with carbon-carbon backbones to their monomers represents an ideal path to alleviate the growing plastic waste stream. However, depolymerizing such stable materials rem...

Gutted to have the last two years of my life being scoped by brilliant work by Anastasaki et al www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... For sure there's some stuff they have missed so hopefully can do a really nice follow-up to this work in the coming months!

Multidisciplinary: We have over 50 core members and a wider academic community representing every Faculty and School at the University of Bath. By breaking down disciplinary silos, our aim is to lead transformative research across three core themes: Sustainable Chemical Technologies: Designing and deploying sustainable molecules, materials and manufacturing processes Sustainable Systems: Measuring sustainability in decision making Social Transformations: Enabling equitable, societal shifts toward sustainability

Academically renowned: Our researchers secure significant grant funding, enabling us to undertake ambitious research, attract top talent, and deliver innovations that tackle the most pressing sustainability challenges of our time. In 2023-24, core members achieved approximately £21 million in grant funding Research published in leading international journals by our 50+ core members received approximately 4,000 online views and 650 citations in 2023-24 Our members lead high-profile national and international research consortia We convene global research conferences, workshops, and events

🌍Today marks the official launch of @bath-iscc.bsky.social !

Against the background of the triple planetary crisis of #climatechange, #pollution and #biodiversityloss, the Institute’s launch could not be more timely.

At the heart of our mission are 7 key strengths that define who we are:
