New funding of up to $52,522 for the project entitled New Corn Oil-Based Monomer Synthesis for Latex Applications in Coatings and Paints has been awarded to Voronov’s group by North Dakota Corn Utilization Council. This project targets converting the corn oil into reagents (monomers) for free radical polymerization and furthermore, polymers and polymeric materials to be used in coatings, adhesives, elastomers, plasticizers, etc. This work begins during summer 2019 and is a single year award.
