The CCBT is a self-supporting center funded by contracts, grants, gifts, and industrial partnerships.

MISSION

The mission of the Center for Coatings and Bio-Based Technology is to be a leading academic organization that provides scientific knowledge for understanding and expanding the technology of coatings and of sustainable raw materials as they relate to paints, coatings, polymers, cement additives, and fibers. Current objectives within the CCBT's core competencies are:

• To synthesize new types of raw materials for polymers, plasticizers, and crosslinkers of potential value in polymers, coatings, cementitious materials, and fibers.
• To use sustainable technology in industrial applications
• To learn principles of physical phenomena critical to coatings and applicable bio-based technologies
• To improve characterization methods of coatings and bio-based raw materials
• To increase the cadre of polymer, coatings, and bio-based chemistry professionals by providing support and training in research projects to undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and visiting scientists

Dr. John Massingill, Adjunct Graduate Faculty in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, is Director of the CCBT, building on his experience as a nonacademic department head as Director of the Coatings Research Institute at Eastern Michigan University for seven years. Dr. Massingill has extensive background in polymers and coatings having worked as Executive Director of Paint Research Associates Laboratories, Inc.; and in the Resins Products Department of The Dow Chemical Company prior to joining EMU. Dr. Massingill is the founding Chair of the new (2001) sub-division for Industrial Bio-Based Technology of the Industrial & Engineering division of the American Chemical Society. He is a member of the program committee of the Industrial Oil Products Division of the American Oil Chemists Society and has been elected Chair of the IOP Division for 2004-2005.
