A home thermostat automatically establishes a comfortable environment for its occupants. A washing machine sends a text message when its cycle is complete. Lights throughout a house are controlled with a tap and swipe on a tablet, saving Dad a final trip down the stairs before bed.
With the grant, Wachs will research energy-related topics
Israel E. Wachs, the G. Whitney Snyder Professor in the chemical and biomolecular engineering department at Lehigh University, has been awarded a Fulbright Senior Scholar Fellowship to study at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel during the spring semester of the 2018-19 academic year.
As you go about your day, you undoubtedly benefit from the research behind epoxy adhesives, though you might not be aware of them. These industrial-strength synthetic materials are used to hold together your car, snowboard, boat and golf clubs. In fact, wherever a high-strength bond with resistance to environmental conditions is needed, you’ll find an epoxy keeping things coupled.
An epoxy resin starts off as a "liquid reactive polymer" that, when mixed, will undergo a chemical reaction and eventually cure to form a solid plastic material.
