This week I welcome Douglas Gardner, Ph.D. on the show. He’s the professor and program leader of sustainable materials technology in the School of Forest Resources at the University of Maine, and a member of the Advanced Structures and Composites Center and Forest Bioproducts Research Institute.
His research, teaching, and service activities focus on polymer and interfacial science aspects of wood-polymer composite materials.
He is also involved in research in the areas of adhesion and surface science, cellulose nanocomposites and extruded wood plastic composites, and additive manufacturing.
You can learn more about their research by visiting https://composites.umaine.edu/cellulosenanocomposites
You can also check out one of the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center’s (ASCC) most recent projects – the BioHome3D 3D Printed House.
