DESCRIPTION:The Department of Bioresource Engineering invites you to a spec
 ial seminar by Professor Basil D. Favis\, Department of Chemical Engineeri
 ng\, Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal. Professor Favis is currently on sabb
 atical leave and serves as a Visiting Professor in the Department.\n\nAlth
 ough the use of biopolymers in the plastics industry has seen dramatic gro
 wth in the last decade\, there is an important need to develop next genera
 tion of high value-added applications for these materials. The goal of thi
 s work is to develop high performance biopolymer blend materials based on 
 renewable resources with entirely novel phase structures at the nano- and 
 micro-scale. The sophisticated morphological manipulation of these microst
 ructures can result in fully biobased materials possessing ultra-high mech
 anical properties.  The materials also have important potential in a varie
 ty of applications such as: scaffolds for tissue engineering\, drug delive
 ry and conductive applications. In addition\, a novel approach to recyclin
 g mixed plastic waste through multi-phase morphology control will also be 
 presented.\n
