On today's episode, we had an inspiring conversation with Dr. Donald White about chemistry, his research and latest kids book series. Dr. White earned his bachelor’s and Masters’ in Chemistry and his PhD in Material Science & Engineering from the historic Tuskegee University. As a Tri-Alumnus, his research includes the synthesis, derivation, and incorporation of Nanocellulose into synthetic polymers. While a graduate at Tuskegee he was a part of one of the largest multidisciplinary consortia funded by The National Science Foundation: The Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology (CSN). While in The Center he was able to collaborate with researchers from Johns Hopkins, Wisconsin, and Minnesota Universities. His research has resulted in one publication: Impact of Silanization on the Structure, Dispersion Properties, and Biodegradability of Nanocellulose as a Nanocomposite Filler; one awarded patent (Nanocellulosic Compositions Patent No. 11,084,907), and one pending patent: Carbon Sequestration of Ambient CO2 v
