Iowa Corn Promotion Board, NJIT to license breakthrough, safe bio-plastic alternative
Date:8/6/2008

n Utilization Technology Conference, 2008, Iowa, the Society of Plastics Engineers' 2008 Global Polymer Environmental Conference, and the American Chemical Society's 2007 Green Chemistry Conference.

Since 2004, NJIT has received more than $1.5 million in research funding for this project from ICPB, US Department of Energy and US Department of Agriculture. Luiz H. Catalani, PhD, a professor in the department of chemistry at the University of Sao Paulo, was a member of the research team during his sabbatical year at NJIT.

The next step toward commercializing isosorbide use is to survey companies interested in licensing the technology, said Williamson. "We can envision ways that might work, and we look forward to discussing how to tailor the ICPB/NJIT isosorbide program to meet the needs of potential partners."
