Our Mission The main focus of our laboratory's research is the valorisation of bio-based environmental resources in everyday and high-tech applications. We aim to find sustainable alternatives to fossil-based polymeric materials by applying bio-based alternatives and recyclables.
Academic Education
We are involved at all levels of the academic education. Our group supports international students exchange.
Research The most important directions of the laboratory's R&D work
Thermoplastic cellulose derivatives to replace fossil-based plastics
Reactive extrusion technology
Fully bio-based composites of lignocellulosic raw materials
Advanced micro- and nano-fibrous materials for the collection and filtration of fine particles
Sustainable plastic recycling, composites of waste plastics and secondary mineral or organic raw materials
