Polymer Circularity Minor and Polymer Properties and Sustainability Lab
In 2022, Professors Barry Thompson, Travis Williams and Megan Fieser received NIST funding to create a polymer circularity minor. Within this minor, Megan will teach a new Polymer characterization lab course that highlights sustainability.
We will continue to update this page as we build the minor and new class!

Spring 2024
We had our first run of Chem 462L: Properties and Sustainability of Polymers! We successfully completed 10 weekly labs and the three students completed a lab practical on an unknown plastic item! We are thrilled the small version of this class went so well, and we will be ready to open it to more students next year!

Summer 2023
This summer we were able to complete the installation of 8 new instruments! We are excited to get started using these instruments for our research and courses.
