NMA Lunchtime Seminar: Focus on Bioresins

 

You are invited to join us for our monthly virtual event where we will be focusing on resin. This event will explore the how a variety of natural materials from bio-adhesives to films and composites provide us with sustainable solutions to a range of academic and industrial problems.

You will hear from:
