“Polymeric foams: from preparation to degradation”

By Dr. Özgün Can Önder

We cordially invite you to our seminar “Polymeric foams: from preparation to degradation”, to be held by Dr Özgün Can Önder.

When: 17 July 2024, Wednesday, 14:00-15:30

Where: Institute of Environmental Sciences Seminar Room (Hisar Campus E-Block)

Abstract:

Polymeric foams are versatile materials renowned for their lightweight and resilient properties, crafted through the incorporation of pores within a polymer matrix. These foams find extensive use in various applications ranging from construction and insulation to biomedical and environmental remediation. In this presentation, we will explore various methods for preparing bio-based polymeric foams and delve into strategies for their recycling
