Bruce Broline has a Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry and 28 years experience in polymer development. He has over 20 years experience in the research and development of construction adhesives, analytical chemistry, and R&D management. He has experience directing research teams on a North American and global geography, has served as a corporate intellectual property manager, and has significant experience in laboratory safety. Bruce has published numerous papers on resin development, analysis, and emissions during the panel manufacturing process and presented research results at conferences in North America and Europe. He has the education and practical experience required to move new technology from an expensive novelty to a profitable product. Bruce has been appointed as a Courtesy Professor in the Department of Wood Science and Engineering at Oregon State University.
