OSU, UO get grant for green chemistry center
Monday, October 27, 2008 | No comments posted.
CORVALLIS (AP) — Oregon State University and the University of Oregon have received a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation to create a new Center for Green Materials Chemistry.
The schools say research at the new center should lead to advanced electronics with a reduced environmental footprint, higher performance and lower cost.
Researchers say that many manufacturing processes for electronic devices are wasteful, sometimes require toxic or carcinogenic materials, and result in high levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
If the joint research program at Oregon and Oregon State is successful, the new center could be eligible for another $25 million in federal funding.
