Seeking Insight From Biobased Community Leaders (You!)

We are developing topics that will highlight the issues that matter the most to those in your area of expertise. These topics will be featured on inform|connect. We would love to include your expertise, thoughts and comments. To participate just click here to share.

1. What one thing should your industry accomplish in 2014?

Inform Free Features

A wide range of products, including foods, nutraceuticals, personal and home care products, industrial lubricants, oilfield chemicals, and biofuels involve stable mixtures of liquids that ordinarily do not mix together. This first free article from the April issue of Inform explains the basic science of emulsions and how they are used in a variety of applications.

Industrial hemp is one step closer to returning to US farms. An amendment in the final US farm bill relaxed the longstanding restriction on the farming of industrial hemp for research purposes. This second free article considers the implications.
