EPOXIDATION AND DEGRADATION OF NATURAL RUBBER
It is a precious opportunity for me to attend the ISFR2009. Talking
face to face with other participants is good to have in-depth discussionthat gave me many inspirations for my graduate work. I feel my work ismeaningful because waste polymeric materials recycling is beneficial toboth environmental protection and energy reuse. Winning the prize
makes me more confident with myself and encourages me to continue
my research work in this area.

2, Tomohito Kameda：Tohoku University,RECOVERY OF INDIUM FROM IN2O3 AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY POWDER USINGDEHYROCHLORINATION OF POLY (VINYL CHLORIDE)
I am very honoured to receive the ISFR Award 2009. I thank themembers of the ISFR scientific committee and my distinguishedcolleagues for the honour they have bestowed on me. My main
research topic is the treatment of wastewater using layered doublehydroxide, but I have also examined recently the dechlorination andchemical modification of poly(vinyl chloride) under Prof. Yoshioka’sleading. In this work, we proposed a combined recycling processcomposed of the thermal treatment of PVC and the simultaneous
separation of the metal-containing waste. I would like to ask for yourcontinuous support in the years to come.

PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND CARBON NANOTUBES BY CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS OFWASTE POLYPROPYLENE IN A TWO-STEP PROCESS
It's been a great honor to have participating in the 5th ISFR. This is my first time to join this kind of international symposium. The quality of t
he presentations and the exchanges among the participants provide for aunique experience. The symposium is very important for understanding t
he newest technologies, progress and policies about polymer wastes recycling. The challenge for recycling technology is how to make recycling
economically and environmentally viable. We tend to split polymer chains into advanced carbon materials and H2 because the technology can tr
ansform carbon into an inactive form and reduce atmospheric CO2 emissions.

CHARACTERIZATION OF CFRP RECOVERED CARBON FIBERS FROM WASTE CFRP
This time I feel very honored that I was able to win such a big prize.
Nothing could please me more than to be awarded an unexpected prize.
I make use of conventional activity and make an effort as hard as
possible in the future and want to connect it with accomplishment. I
look forward to seeing members of ISFR again in the next conference.
Thank you very much.

CATALYTIC DEGRADATION OF HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE AND ASSOCIATED MODEL
The ISFR meeting was an enjoyable and informative conference
which helped me gain a better understanding of the current state ofresearch in this field. As this is not a large field in Australia, it was niceto see that there is a lot of activity in other countries. I have definitely
made contacts which will be helpful for future work! I thank theCommittee for giving me this award!

CATALYTIC CRACKING AND DEHYDROCHLORINATION OF POLYPROPYLENE / POLYVINYLCHLORIDE USING MgO COMPOSITES
As one of the organizers and participants, I am happy to see thesuccess of the ISFR2009. Most of waste polymers have come to China;
therefore, highly efficient use of waste polymers in an environmentalfriendly way in China is an emergent task for us. Cooperation between
researchers from different countries and cooperation between
government, university/research institute and recycling enterprises canguarantee the success of this difficult and meaningful task. I was reallysurprised to find myself being a prize winner. I am very thankful forthat and see this as a recognition and encouragement to continue mywork in this field also on behalf of Prof. Wang, my students andcolleagues. I hope to see you all again at the next ISFR in 2011 in Spain.
