Projects in this topic will be oriented around characterizing a variety of commercial materials (cellulose-based or other) under various extreme conditions. Student will learn how to pattern and cut materials with a CO2 laser cutter. The development and deployment of quantitative measures for precision in cutting and drilling materials, and for their demisability, will be part of the project.

I'm interested in this project. What should I do next?
Now that UR-Linked has helped you to identify a faculty project that interests you and for which you might be
qualified, be sure to review
the essential steps in contacting a potential faculty mentor .
The Director of Undergraduate Research,
Dr. Jane Greer. , can provide you with further guidance about finding
and connecting with faculty mentors at UMKC.
Once you have reviewed the essential steps to prepare for connecting
with a potential faculty mentor, you can use the "Contact Details" for this project to connect with the faculty
member and to begin a conversation about how you might get involved.
