0640035 Luster-Teasley该探索性研究的目的是设计一种用于地下水和地下土壤修复的创新控释输送系统。Lister-Teasley博士将研究将化学氧化剂纳入可生物降解聚合物的能力，以开发一种新的地下化学氧化剂输送方法。这项研究是探索性的，因为需要进行基础研究，以确定在可生物降解聚合物中结合氧化剂进行环境修复的可行性。 具体来说，我们需要了解如何将氧化剂掺入可生物降解塑料中、氧化剂与塑料之间的反应以及氧化剂的释放以进行修复。 这种探索性的研究是重要的环境工程，因为这些修复能力的结构将提供一种新的，经济的，低维护的形式，在原位化学氧化剂修复污染的水和地下土壤。

0640035Luster-TeasleyThe objective of this exploratory research is to design an innovative controlled release delivery system for groundwater and subsurface soil remediation. Dr. Lister-Teasley will investigate the ability to incorporate chemical oxidants into biodegradable polymers to develop a new method of subsurface chemical oxidant delivery. This research is exploratory because fundamental investigations are needed to determine the feasibility of combining oxidants within biodegradable polymers for environmental remediation. Specifically, we need to understand how to incorporate the oxidants into the biodegradable plastics, the reactions between the oxidants and plastics, and the release of the oxidants for remediation. This exploratory research is significant to Environmental Engineering because these remediation capable structures would provide a new, economical, and low maintenance form of in-situ chemical oxidant remediation for contaminated water and subsurface soils.
