This invention introduces an innovative method for upcycling waste polyalkenamers, such as polybutadiene and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, into high-performance materials through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP).

This technology identifies enzymatic routes to synthesize amide oligomers with defined sequence to improve polymerization of existing materials or enable polymerization of new materials. Polymers are generally composed of one (e.g. Nylon 6) or two (e.g.

Adhesives for metal parts typically are liquid-based which require complex processing. This technology is a hot melt adhesive that is mixed and applied in a solid form and after the heating and cooling cycle creates strong bonds with the substrates in a matter of seconds.
