Troy University’s Center for Materials and Manufacturing Sciences has announced new research aimed to bolster production of personal protective equipment (PPEs) for healthcare workers and create new avenues for recycling medical plastic waste.
The ongoing coronavirus crisis has put into focus the need for increased production of PPEs for medical professionals. Dr. Govind Menon, director of the Center for Materials and Manufacturing Sciences, said Troy researchers are looking at new ways to produce PPEs from polymers as a means to increase production and help prepare for future threats.
