- Climate change demands a paradigm change in the chemical industry and waste stream valorization.
- Reverse osmosis modules comprised of composite polymer membranes represent a leading technology in desalination and purification of brackish water.
- The covalent attachment of polymers has emerged as a powerful strategy for the preparation of multi-functional surfaces.
- Current state-of-the-art composite materials are not light/strong enough for crewed missions to Mars and beyond.
- Traditional methods of scientific inquiry and engineering design begin with human intelligence: Mathematical models encoding physical hypotheses are proposed, tested against experimental data and refined by fitting adjustable parameters.
- We had a good fall semester.
That seems like a simple statement, but it means a lot, considering the events of the past year and a half. It is worth remarking upon as 蜜糖直播 Boulder returned to full-time, on-campus operations. - Alumni and friends of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering generously made contributions to the department excellence fund in honor of Giving Tuesday. Nineteen donors provided $3,018 during the giving period, which ran throughout the latter half of November.
