Cornell Prof Invents ‘Green’ Skateboard

Article body:

Thanks to a Cornell-based company called e2e Materials, skateboards of the future won’t just be able to hover, they’ll also be fully biodegradable.

Prof. Anil Netravali, fiber science and apparel design, has developed a composite made entirely out of plant materials, which could replace formaldehyde-based particleboard. Last May, Netravali joined with Patrick Govang, then of the Cornell Center for Materials Research, to form e2e Materials and bring products based on Netravali’s work to the open market. Govang, now the president of e2e Materials, resigned from Cornell in January to concentrate on biodegradable composites full time.
