‘Green’ Synthesis of Bio-Based Polyurethanes and Polyesters – 2021 WARF Innovation Awards Nominee

The chemical engineering team of Prof. Jim Dumesic, Hochan Chang and Prof. George Huber is working to unlock bio building blocks and help farmers in the process. Their new biomass-derived compound could serve as a ‘green’ substitute for important platform chemicals used in everything from consumer goods to medical devices.
