Tune2Bio

This project aims to develop the knowledge and expertise needed to tune the biodegradability of (bio)polyesters through innovative physical and chemical modification of the polymers. The developed structure-processing-biodegradation relations will enable us to dial in the desired biodegradation profile over a large timeframe. This newly acquired knowledge and expertise will be used, combined with research into the challenging new production techniques that these newly modified polyesters require, to results in a proof of concept for various industry-relevant products (being filaments, fibres, and films).
