Development of functional composite materials with plant reinforcement
Biobased materials and products have a major role to play in the transition to a circular bioeconomy in order to meet the ambition of the European Union (EU) which aims in its Green Deal for a climate neutral Europe in 2050.
In this project, Certech will develop biobased composites with interesting properties (antioxidant, antibacterial, antistatic, …) by valorising regional agricultural by-products.
Certech activities within the project are based on our following expertise:
• Development of thermoplastic polymer matrices based on modified biobased raw materials
• Formulation and process of biocomposites
• Physico-chemical and mechanical characterisation of the biocomposites
• Characterisation of Volatile Organic Compounds and odors emissions from biocomposites
