Tulane Institute for Macromolecular Engineering and
Science
The goal of this
multidisciplinary research and education initiative is to develop a
university-wide theme that builds on existing expertise in polymer engineering
and science. Specifically, interdisciplinary research is being performed in the
areas of environmentally benign polymers, polymers for biomedical and health
science applications, polymer processing, and polymer nano-composites.
Individual participating faculty representing six of the top departments at
Tulane have established records of procuring external funding. There is also
the potential for TIMES to have economic impact within the state. We note that
Louisiana ranks 2nd in the nation in resin production, but 36th in the
production of polymeric parts. There is also a need at Tulane to create courses
in the polymer area in order to provide a well-trained workforce for the state,
and enhance Tulane's national and international status in the polymer area.
