Fabricating the future with a new environment friendly method of polymerization

The current use of metal catalysts to develop polymers leads to suboptimal quality polymers that contain metallic impurities and involves a reaction process that is not environment friendly. Now, scientists have successfully demonstrated the room temperature formation of vinyl and styrene polymers -- two most abundantly found polymers in plastics -- using non-ionic, non-metallic organocatalysts, which pave the way for a low cost, environment friendly, efficient polymer-driven future.
