Biopolymers & Biocomposites Research Team

 

Cellulosic-based Composites

 

A range of new biocomposites have been prepared from natural oils, resins, and fillers as diverse as glass fibers, clay, and agricultural co-products such as spent germ, corn stover, and soybean hulls.

Potential uses for biocomposites include electronics, shower stalls, corrugated and flat paneling, hog feeders, and underhood applications in cars.

More detailed information about this research area can be found on The Larock Group, Michael Kessler, and David Grewell's team pages.
