Tune2Bio

Tuning the biodegradability of (bio)polymers for more sustainable plastic applications.

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).
