Green Materials at CCMR

Green Materials Logo

The Green Materials program links innovative research developments and capabilities within CCMR to the growing needs of industry for sustainable chemistry and materials.  The majority of fibers and composites used in today’s products are petroleum-based, non-renewable and unsustainable. Faculty members of the Cornell Center for Materials Research are working on various fronts both to address the societal issues and, in turn, create commercial opportunities.

Annual Symposium

Our next symposium will be held on May 18, 2009

This year’s program will reflect the current interest on materials synthesized using sustainable processes or enabling them. It will focus amongst others on the synthesis of green materials and carbon dioxide capture, sequestration and use.
