The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) to design, develop, and characterize novel performance advantaged bioproduct (PABP) barrier materials based on chitin and cellulose with improved permeability relative to a petroleum-derived poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film standard, in order to inform potential commercial development of renewable natural resources.
