There are 2-Compelling Reasons Why You Must Attend This Bio-Conference: 1. Traditional & New Polymers: Biobased building blocks are enabling the manufacture of traditional polymers (Polyolefins/Polyesters/Nylons) as well as newer polymers such as PEF (vs PET for packaging) and Nylon 410 to name a few. 2. Environment Re-Engineering: Bill Gates funds $14M for Plantro-Chemicals and heads-up a $1 Billion fund to fight climate change. LAND Pollution: Building blocks for polymers are being made via forest and municipal WASTES as opposed to petro-based chemicals CLIMATE Pollution: In further support to worldwide Paris-2015 agreement on climate control, Bill Gates will be heading a $1 Billion fund to fight climate change. Use of biobased-renewable raw materials to make polymers, especially the greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4), is a step towards that goal. WATER Pollution: About 50Blbs / year of plastic leaks into ocean with potentially adverse effects on human...

A research team from WSU for the first time has developed a promising way to recycle the popular carbon fiber plastics that are used in everything from modern airplanes and sporting goods to the wind energy industry. The work, reported in Polymer Degradation and Stability, provides an efficient way to re-use the expensive carbon fiber and other materials that make up the composites. Planes, Windmills, Many Products Jinwen Zhang with his Carbon Fiber Recycling Research Team Carbon fiber reinforced plastics are increasingly popular in many industries, particularly aviation, because they are light and strong. They are, however: Very difficult to break down or recycle, and disposing of them has become of increasing concern.  Thermoplastics - type of plastic used in milk bottles, can be melted and easily re-used whereas, composites used in planes are thermoset plastics which are cured and can’t easily be undone and returned to their original materials. ...
