AKRON, Ohio, --January 8, 2004-- Akron Global Polymer Academy (AGPA) Remote Virtual Labs will provide facilities for conducting remote research, characterization, and testing of polymeric materials, either by individuals or collaboratively by groups of researchers located anywhere.

The facilities are offered on a per-use basis or on long-term lease. Each laboratory features a simulation for preview and familiarization/training purposes. In addition, there is a set of simulation tools that can be used to simulate manufacturing, design, and durability of polymer and polymer composite materials.

The labs also support the AGPA’s on-line short courses and degree programs, as well as on-line training and certification offered in support of employers and equipment manufacturers.

The Akron Global Polymer Academy (AGPA) reports that it is helping teachers "improve the scientific literacy of their K-12 students" through resources provided by its website. The academy is part of The University of Akron's College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering.

The AGPA site will include fully developed lesson plans and videos of sample lectures, as well as links to Ohio science standards, best teaching practices, and polymer resource materials.

For more information or to schedule a laboratory session, please contact the Laboratory Administrator at (USA) 330-972-2725.
