With growing demand from consumers, government regulations to decrease pollution and the necessity to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, the need to understand biopolymers and biocomposites is critical. These materials have the potential to use a wide range of feedstocks, from corn to coconut fibers, making this emerging technology challenging.
The workshop is part of a three-day series of workshops related to plastics. More information about the Plastics Manufacturing Technical Resources Workshop on Aug. 13 and the Bioplastic Container Cropping Systems Conference on Aug. 15 is available here: www.biocom.iastate.edu/workshop. Reduced registration will be available if you plan to attend two or more workshops.
Hosted by the Biopolymers & Biocomposites Research Team.
