NYU Polytechnic Institute to Develop Biomaterials

Clean energy technologies often use unsustainable petroleum feedstocks. Now researchers will explore new ways to use biomaterials to create fan blades, solar photovoltaic modules, and other components.

According to New York University Polytechnic Institute (NYU-Poly), the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Professor Richard Gross, a professor of chemical and biological molecular engineering, a bonus. He will collaborate with other researchers from 7 schools to develop biopolymers. .

Material development and application will take at least 5 years

Gross explained, for example, that the fan blades are bulky and need to be replaced about every 25 years. In the end, these wind turbine blades “buried” the landfill like other non-recyclable garbage. If these fan blades can be remodeled and reused through biological or chemical processing, then this will have a huge positive impact on the environment.

Gross claims that we believe in the accuracy of nature's design of molecules that allow photovoltaic cells and fan blades to achieve better performance. The composition of components is critical to the performance of the device and the properties of the material.

It is reported that the US National Science Foundation has awarded Professor Gross and his partners a prize for cooperation in international research and education. The project they are co-developing is called "Renewable Energy Natural Law" (RENEW). (Compiled by Tao Shuhua)
