Sustainable Semicrystalline Polymers Lab
Crystallizing knowledge for a sustainable polymer future
Our Research
Our research focuses on the design and synthesis of sustainable semicrystalline polymers using bio-based monomers and innovative strategies. We aim to understand and control the structure-property relationships that govern polymer crystallization and performance. By integrating fundamental insights with material innovation, we contribute to the development of next-generation, environmentally responsible polymers.
