Green Materials at CCMR
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 meeting "Polymer materials for a sustainable future" will be held on May 20th and 21st of 2008.
This 2008 program reflects an increasing interest for green materials and combines the two symposia held in 2007 by the CCMR: POP and Green Materials.
