Date/Time: 13:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 15th
Venue: Room A223, No.50 Building
Lecturer: Prof. Peter Halley
Abstracts：
This talk will highlight developments of bio based polymers at UQ. Specifically it aims to highlight that bio based polymers can be processed and have properties like conventional polymers, can be tailored to higher value, smarter applications and in this tailoring you must examine the sustainability of the entire product lifecycle rather than just biodegradability or end-use.
About Lecturer：
Professor Peter Halley is the Head of the University of Queensland School of Chemical Engineering. His research is in the area of sustainable, bio-based materials and polymers, and he operates at the translational research interface between universities and industry. He is a professor in chemical engineering, a chief investigator in the Queensland Advanced Materials Processing and Manufacturing (AMPAM) Centre, an affiliate professor in the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) as well as a Fellow of both the Institution of Chemical Engineers and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.
