ChemE Researchers' Accidental Discovery May Lead to Improved Polymers
The accidental discovery by Chemical Engineering Professor
Tim Bender and Post-Doctoral Fellow Benoit Lessard of an unexpected side
product of polymer synthesis could have implications for the manufacture of
commercial polymers used in sealants, adhesives, toys and even medical
implants, the researchers say.
Bender and Lessard
discuss their discovery in a paper published this month in Macromolecular Rapid
Communications and online at MaterialsView.com.
