Sustainable Polymeric and Particulate Materials

From renewable molecules to circular materials

We develop polymeric materials designed for circularity — from renewable and waste-derived feedstocks to systems that can be repaired, reused and recycled. At the interface of chemistry, materials science and engineering, we aim to deliver high-performance materials with built-in sustainability.

Research areas

We develop vitrimer materials combining the mechanical performance of thermosets with recyclability, repairability, and reprocessability. Our expertise spans resin formulation, dynamic polymer network characterization, process optimization, and scale-up from lab to pilot scale.

We collaborate with industrial and research partners on applications including composites, adhesives, electronics, foams, and both rigid and flexible materials.

We develop bio-based materials from renewable resources such as cellulose and lignin, covering the full value chain from chemical modification to material development. Our expertise includes bio-based benzoxazines, lignin-based systems, and cellulose-derived materials, with a particular focus on all-cellulose composites.

We work with industrial and research partners on sustainable materials for applications requiring high performance, lightweight structures, and reduced environmental impact.

We support the scale-up of materials and chemical processes from gram scale to tens of kilograms, bridging laboratory development and pilot-scale production. Our expertise includes process optimization, formulation transfer, mixing and reactive processing, as well as drying of powders, suspensions, and resin systems. We work closely with partners to ensure reproducibility, process robustness, and compatibility with industrial requirements.
