Developing innovative materials for a circular future
Our Research
Our research focuses on the design and development of advanced, sustainable materials to address the growing environmental concerns associated with conventional packaging. We investigate the structure-property relationships that govern key performance metrics, aiming to design high-barrier materials with optimized permeability. By combining fundamental science with application-oriented approaches, we explore innovative pathways to reduce plastic waste and improve material performance for real-world packaging solutions.
