Platform for recyclable furan derivatives and plastics from lignocellulose
The purpose of the project is to develop, produce and investigate furan-based polyesters that meet the industry's needs for competitive and sustainable high-performance thermosets and thermoplastics.
New bio-based packaging and engineering plastics
The project is focused on the chemical design and development of new monomeric building blocks from lignin and cellulose feedstocks. These building blocks mainly include different cyclic diols, diesters, diamines, etc, to prepare mechanically rigid and thermally stable bio-based thermoplastics for use as high-performance packaging and engineering plastics.
