Hemp Composites
Hemp composites are a sustainable alternative to carbon fiber and fiberglass composites. Our team has developed a manufacturing process and testing procedure to characterize hemp composites.
One or two sentence description of the project.
A process developed by Xerox results in a waste stream of heptane and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The team built and tested a semi-continuous extraction system to separate heptane and PDMS.
One or two sentence description of the project.
This project involved designing, building, and testing the functionality of an adsorption system. The system will be used by the Porosoff Lab to study different sorbents for use in the direct air capture of CO2.
