Kieffel NatureFormer

Brückner’s Kieffel group has provided our laboratory with a state-of-the-art pilot scale thermo-former, the NatureFormer. This will become a core piece of our applied research providing a vehicle to demonstrate our engineered sustainable nanofibers in manufacturing sustainable products. Students will be encouraged to utilize the equipment to explore developing new products to replace petroleum-based products….
