Let's go ahead and call Vinita Shinde the poster child of Auburn Engineering polymer research.  The chemical engineering graduate student recently helped Beckingham Polymer Research Group bring home back-to-back poster awards from the American Chemical Society (ACS) for her poster, “Self-healing of thermoplastic polymer composites via environmentally friendly solvent-filled microcapsules.” Vinita breaks down what those words even mean, and shares her Auburn experience, on the latest episode of the best podcast in all of higher education.
