A team led by Hopkins engineers has developed a method to convert organic waste into medium-chain carboxylic acids (MCCAs)—crucial ingredients in industrial lubricants, bioplastics, food additives, and personal care products. The new technique offers a sustainable alternative to current MCCA production methods that pose major environmental and economic hazards, such as destroying rainforests.

The award will support Vo’s research on synthetic polymers.
