This NSERC Alliance project supports a collaboration between Professor Scott Parent at Queen's University and Ingenia Polymers, a Canadian-based company with an international client base and a R&D centre in Brantford, Ontario. It will create training opportunities for two graduate students and four summer undergraduate students over a two-year period. The goal of the project is to advance knowledge of functional nitroxyl chemistry proven effective for controlling the dynamics and yields of polyolefin modifications like polypropylene and polyethylene. These polymers are prevalent in a wide range of applications, most notably consumer plastic. This research will further the ability to control the dynamics and yields of solvent-free processes that improve the physical properties of polyolefins. The partnership will allow Ingenia to create new products and services thereby expanding their market share to the direct benefit of the Canadian economy. Their business is built on knowledge of how to formulate plastics to meet the demands of a wide range of consumer goods. Chemistry invented at Queen's University has shown promise in several of their applications, fueling interest in a collaborative effort to understand and apply the technology. NSERC-supported research conducted at Queen's will generate new chemistry that allows plastic goods manufacturers control their production processes to an unprecedented degree. In addition to improving the efficiency of consumer goods production, new formulations that allow these goods to be recycled will be explored in an effort to improve the sustainability of plastics that are currently disposed of by landfill or incineration.

该NSERC联盟项目支持女王大学的Scott Parent教授与Ingenia Polymers之间的合作，Ingenia Polymers是一家总部位于加拿大的公司，拥有国际客户群，并在安大略的布兰特福德设有研发中心。它将在两年期间为两名研究生和四名暑期本科生创造培训机会。 该项目的目标是推进功能硝酰基化学的知识，该化学被证明可有效控制聚丙烯和聚乙烯等聚烯烃改性的动力学和产率。这些聚合物在广泛的应用中很普遍，最值得注意的是消费塑料。这项研究将进一步提高控制无溶剂工艺的动力学和产率的能力，从而改善聚烯烃的物理性能。该合作伙伴关系将使Ingenia能够创造新的产品和服务，从而扩大其市场份额，直接造福加拿大经济。他们的业务建立在如何配制塑料以满足各种消费品需求的知识基础上。在皇后大学发明的化学已经在他们的几个应用中显示出了希望，激发了人们对理解和应用这项技术的合作努力的兴趣。NSERC支持的研究将产生新的化学物质，使塑料制品制造商能够将其生产过程控制到前所未有的程度。除了提高消费品生产效率外，还将探索允许这些商品回收的新配方，以提高目前通过填埋或焚烧处理的塑料的可持续性。
