Dr. Brian Korgel Interactive module for kids ranging from 3 to 7 years old. Come learn about chemistry, materials, and fluid flow properties. The world is full of plastics.
Plastics play a BIG role in our everyday lives.
Visit the Paul Research Group and experience the amazing field of polymer science through various demonstrations, hands-on activities, and interesting presentations. Dr. Christine Schmidt Learn all about new biomedical engineering techniques that are being used to heal damaged and diseased organs. With new approaches using biomaterial plastics, scientists are now capable of growing living human tissue in the laboratory for use in the clinic. Engineers can now make synthetic membranes that simulate the actions of biological membranes. Also, get a peek at what the next generation of membranes may be like and how they will be made.
