1. Exploring bio-based monomers for UV-curable polymer networks
Abstract : Increased environmental awareness and concern has led to a high demand for sustainable, bio-based materials. Consequently, there is a need for research and development of new bio-based polymeric materials that can be synthesized via routes eliminating excessively toxic reactants and by-products. READ MORE

3. Sustainable synthetic pathways towards the formation of bio-based polymeric materials
Abstract : Increasing environmental and social awareness arising from the use of oil as main source of raw materials, has awaken the interest of many scientists to explore new synthetic pathways for polymer production. These new approaches embrace the use of alternative feedstock and sustainable synthetic routes aiming for enhancing biodegradability and recyclability. READ MORE

4. Bio-based barriers from wood hydrolysates : A pilot-scale approach
Abstract : Wood hydrolysates (WHs) are liquids extracted from the hydrothermal treatment of wood. They exist as the byproduct of forestry industries such as the dissolving pulp and fiberboard industries. WHs are hemicellulose-based with a large share of lignin in the chemical composition. READ MORE

5. Enzyme catalysis towards bio-based UV-curable buildingblocks
Abstract : Polymeric materials are found in virtually all areas of daily life; they are found in everything from packages keeping our food safe to the buildings where we spend our days, and the production is a worldwide industry. Although polymeric materials play a big part in sustainable solution’s, a lot can be done to develop more environmental methods for producing them. READ MORE
