Fact Finding Visit to Japan to Assess the Status of Research Development and Applications of Biodegradable Polymers and Plastics in Japan

LENZ 9314162一个由6名专家组成的团队将对日本的大学、政府和工业实验室和研究所进行为期10天的实地调查，以确定日本可生物降解聚合物和塑料的现状以及未来的计划。还将调查此类聚合物的其他可能应用，包括水溶性聚合物、纤维、涂料等。计划访问至少20个不同的地点，之后将向NSF提交一份解释性报告，并将在NSF方便的情况下举办研讨会。

Lenz 9314162 A team of six specialists, all of whom are now actively involved in research on biodegradable polymers and plastics (four from universities, one from industry and one from a federal government research laboratory,) will conduct a ten-day, fact- finding tour of university, government and industry laboratories and institutes in Japan to determine the present state o, and future plans for, research, development and applications of biodegradable polymers and plastics in Japan. Other possible applications for such polymers will also be surveyed, including water-soluble polymers, fibers, coatings, etc. It is planned to visit at least 20 different locations, after which an interpretive report will be submitted to NSF and a workshop will be held at the convenience of NSF.
