RESEARCH GOALS
This project aims to advance a fundamental understanding of
PHA gelation. That understanding will be applied to integrate PHA
extraction with innovative fabrication methods using “PHA-poor’’
solvents to fabricate PHA-based agrochemical release systems.
This research will advance on ongoing efforts to scale up PHA
production using regional municipal wastewater and organic waste
residuals as renewable resources [3]. Thus, the project impact is
directed to resource management and supporting regional circular
economies with products and services for sustainable agriculture
and water quality protection
