Better Biobased Polymer Network

Description

The chemical industry faces increasing pressure to reduce emissions and adopt sustainable alternatives. Replacing petroleum-based reactions with new, bio-based pathways will pave the way towards a circular industry. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the B3PO project aims to develop new methods for the synthesis of polymers and materials derived from biomass. Its researchers will look into the enzymatic modification of lignin and biotechnological ways to produce bio-based monomers. This work will lead to better adhesives, coatings and biomedical 3D materials. Beyond research, B3PO will train the next generation of scientists to lead Europe's shift toward greener, smarter chemistry. Specifically, it will offer a double-degree programme that combines polymer science with industrial biotechnology.
