US-Poland MSC Joint Fund Research on New Directions for Lignin Utilization

在这个项目中，化学研究所的亨利克·斯特鲁什奇克博士 波兰罗兹的Fibres将与W. C.博士合作。格拉瑟 弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学，V.L.博士。 密歇根技术大学的蒋和R.纳拉扬 普渡大学，隶属于美国-玛丽 联合基金研究“木质素利用的新方向。" 研究人员将研究木质素利用的新方向， 用于改性聚合物生产的原料以及 作为制备控释制剂基质的聚合物载体 适合农业应用的农药。 木质素，由- 生产木浆的产品，现在主要是作为一种 能源，但这会产生有毒的二氧化硫气体有害 对环境 研究人员认为，木质素可以作为一种 新产品的来源，特别是聚合物。 该化学项目实现了以下计划目标： 促进科学知识的发展， 美国和波兰将联合收割机互补的努力和能力 在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域， 平等、互惠、互利。

In this project, Dr. Henryk Struszczyk of the Institute of Chemical Fibres, Lodz, Poland, will cooperate with Dr. W.C. Glasser of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Dr. V.L. Chiang of Michigan Technical University, and Dr. R. Narayan of Purdue University, under the U.S.-Poland Marie Sklodowska-Curie Joint Fund to research "New Directions for Lignin Utilization." The researchers will study new directions of lignin utilization as a source for modified polymers production as well as in a form of polymeric carriers as a matrix for preparation of controlled release pesticides suitable for agricultural application. Lignin, a by- product of producing wood pulp, is now mainly burned as an energy source, but this produces toxic sulfur dioxide gases harmful to the environment. The researchers believe lignin could serve as a source of new products, especially polymers. This project in chemistry fulfills the program objectives of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the U.S. and Poland to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
