Biopolymers and Biocomposites Research Team

 

Welcome


The Biocomposites Research Team, established in 1995, strives to promote research in the development of biorenewable polymers from Midwest crops, encourages bioplastics in industry, and works towards new formulations and processing techniques. In our Team Members links, you can find detailed information on our focus. We work with plant-based oils, proteins, adhesives, and composites.

 

About the Team


Our team is focused on four major thrust areas: 1) polymerization of renewable oils, 2) processing of protein-based plastics, 3) protein-based adhesives, and 4) cellulosic-based composites. The team consists of world leaders in research and teaching in these areas.
