Sustainable Biocomposites

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Dr. Misra¿s proposed research focuses on creating advanced environmentally friendly materials from sustainable resources, recycled materials, and waste-stream feedstock to reduce landfilling, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. It involves the design and engineering of biocomposites by employing advanced hybridization strategies at the matrix and reinforcement levels. Biocarbon and a wide range of nanomaterials impart improved properties and added functionality. The development of green products such as nano-enhanced multi-layer packaging and 3D printed parts will contribute to zero-waste manufacturing and a circular economy. The success of this research will advance the biocomposite field and support manufacturing sectors, in Canada and internationally.
