The awardee, Retrn Bioworks Inc., is utilizing a novel fermentation process to produce high-performance poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) copolymers from lignocellulosic waste feedstocks. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) project grant, titled "LEAP-HI: ALL-CARBON RECYCLABLE ELECTRONICS (ACRE): REALIZING A SUSTAINABLE ELECTRONICS LIFECYCLE", will investigate the printing of all-carbon recyclable electronic (ACRE) materials to replace silicon- or metal oxide-based semiconductors in display manufacturing. The $500,000 award to Duke University, with a sub-award to Columbia University, aims to develop...
- This $722,573 National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities project grant supports the development of next generation biomaterials with engineered biodegradability to enable networked swarm sensing in the ocean. The grant period runs from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The University of California, Santa Barbara leads this effort to produce prototype polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-based biomaterials incorporating additives to facilitate marine biodegradation at targeted times....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $118,143 to the University of Alabama to develop sustainable, functional paper-based packaging materials as an alternative to plastic. The project aims to improve the barrier properties of cellulose-based packaging by impregnating it with bio-derived compounds extracted from agricultural waste, using supercritical carbon dioxide technology. Key activities involve studying...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) is providing $1.1M to Purdue University and subawardees to develop sustainable, hemp-derived bioplastics with exceptional properties and recyclability. The goal is to accelerate the displacement of legacy petrochemical-based plastics, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and microplastics. The project will investigate novel hemp-derived monomers to synthesize a variety of...
- This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.212 - Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program) provides $181,500 to Sustainable Chemicals LLC to develop a family of renewable and biodegradable bioplastics that can replace large-volume petrochemical plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene. The bioplastics are designed to have a 75% lower carbon...
PURPOSE:THERE EXISTS A NEED FOR INSULATING PRINTABLE DIELECTRIC TO ALSO BE BIODEGRADABLE TO MAKE THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) BE TRULY SUSTAINABLE. MUCH RESEARCH HAS BEEN COMPLETED IN RECENT YEARS FOR PRINTABLE BIODEGRADABLE CELLULOSE MATERIALS THAT HAS BEEN USED FOR 3D APPLICATIONS USING STANDARD 3D PRINTING METHODS FROM EXTRUSION TO PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION. THERE HAS BEEN WORK DONE IN CELLULOSE AS A FILLER IN A 3D PRINTING OF SENSORS, BUT THERE IS NOT A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE METHOD YET FOR SUSTAINABLE PRINTED ELECTRONICS. CHEMCUBED LLC PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A BIODEGRADABLE PRINTABLE MATERIAL THAT CAN MEET THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS OF MOST SECTORS WITHIN THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: KICK-OFF MEETINGSDEFINE AND OBTAIN RAW MATERIALSTESTINGFINALIZE MIXTURESPRINT MIXTURESPRINT MIXTURES, TESTS, AND FORMULATIONSEXPECTED OUTCOMES: CHEMCUBE'S RESEARCH TO DEVELOP A BIODEGRADABLE PRINTABLE MATERIAL THAT CAN MEET THE MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS OF MOST SECTORS WITHIN THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY, WOULD BE A GAME CHANGERINTENDED BENEFICIARIES INCLUDE: MARKET SEGMENTS TO THAT INCLUDE AEROSPACE, MILITARY AND DEFENSE, THE AUTOMOTIVE, ELECTRONICS, AND CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRIES.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT INTEND TO SUBAWARD FUNDS.
