October Discussion: Polymers, Plastics and Polyaniline
Presenter: Eve Fabrizio, Project Coordinator for Crosslink/JVIC, will discuss the innovative applications of a unique, electricity-carrying plastic called polyaniline.
With locations in Springfield, St Louis and the University of Southern Mississippi, Crosslink is an industry leader working with polyaniline (PANI), an electrically conductive plastic. And if that isn’t intriguing enough, PANI can also release a substance that protects our armed forces from biological and chemical warfare agents. Join us for the October Science Café to learn how PANI’s unique qualities are being shaped into equally innovative materials by Crosslink!
