Terrific work by Ph.D. student Isha Farook and PSI collaborators, highlighted today by ACS! acs.org/pressroom/presspacs/…

Sawdust-based foam could offer a sustainable alternative to polystyrene

Waste swept off a sawmill floor, plant-based binders, and beeswax create foams with potential for sustainable packaging and building materials.
