KANSAS — A new round of grant funding will help boost Southeast Kansas research on a very different way to use soybean oil.
Three grants totaling $150,000 are going to the Kansas Polymer Research Center.
They will fund three plant-based projects, including developing a green replacement for solvents, producing new forms of adhesives & sealants, and simplifying the process of creating polymers from soybean oil.
The research will be based at Pittsburg State University’s Tyler Research Center.
