| Funding kick-starts UPEI 'green' chemist's research into biodegradable plastics |
|
A UPEI ‘green’ chemist who is working to develop vegetation-based
plastics to reduce dependence on petroleum-based products and minimize
the impact on the environment has been recognized by the Canada
Foundation for Innovation (CFI). Dr. Michael Shaver will receive $83,731 towards the cost of essential equipment for his research on the design of homogeneous catalysts for application in green chemical reactions and polymerizations. Green chemistry is a set of chemical ideals that drive many chemists towards sustainable and environmentally friendly operations. Bookmark this page!      |
