Some of the amine groups hang out solo, while others link with each other to help create the porosity within the solid. The researchers tested this process with a few plastic objects, including Styrofoam, food packaging, a fork, a CD case, and a Lego base plate (which has another chemical component). They found that the material they produced performed well in the carbon-capture cycle, both at the extremely high CO2 concentration of a smokestack and the lower concentration of ambient air.
