That's why industry is looking very closely at Cooper's work. Polyethylene, a resin used to make kitchenware and a wide variety of containers, is a substance which was developed in laboratories. Cooper's research similarly holds open a host of practical and potentially lucrative applications in plastics and other chemical fields...

...Cooper's current research on carbons proves his importance. Carbon is a key ingredient in gasoline and plastics, and carbon dioxide is one of ten most abundant potential sources of carbon; by attaching a stable carbon dioxide molecule to a metal center, a new substance is created which in principle may be used as a carbon source, and hence a potential energy source...
