Cleavable materials, which can be converted into non-toxic substances under mild conditions after use, have been receiving a great deal of attention. If materials can be broken down and recycled when needed, they are not only environmentally friendly, but also functional. I am pursuing research to add chemical degradability to commonly used organic materials such as surfactants and plastics.
