Biobased Materials are materials that are (partly) made from biological components. Over the past decades it has become clear that the chemical industry has to look for biological renewable feedstocks to produce sustainable plastics and materials in the immediate future. Alternative sources also provide the opportunity to develop materials with new and advanced properties for all kinds of applications.
The Biobased Materials Research Group participates in the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM) and the Chemelot Institute for Science & Technology (InSciTe), they collaborate with various partners on a number of projects.
