Research summary
AI-generated

Shan Tang's work centers on catalytic polymer chemistry, particularly designing new plastics and rubbers from small molecules like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and butadiene, with an emphasis on making materials that are tougher, degradable, or chemically recyclable. Related work explores catalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels and chemicals such as methanol, propylene, and butene. Note that the publication list also includes titles on unrelated topics (e.g., neuroscience, plant genetics, generative AI), which may reflect database mixing of multiple researchers with the same name rather than a single unified research program.
