Researchers have found a way to break down certain durable plastics — used in aerospace and microelectronics — into their most basic buildings blocks for potentially limitless reuse. Their new method, published on Monday in Nature Chemistry, could help give a second, third or hundredth life to a difficult-to-recycle type of plastic that is built to withstand extreme conditions. The scientists, based at the University of Colorado Boulder, used an innovative chemical process to break down “thermoset polymers” — those that strengthen permanently when heated and cannot be remolded — into their simplest components. In doing so, they made a typically irreversible process reversible,
