This project aims to synthesize and establish the structure-properties relationship of new polyurethane materials based on bio-components that after exhaustion, may undergo biodegradation processes, so that their impact as organic waste on human health is as small as possible. The development of these polymeric materials in different forms (films, gels, composites, bio-adhesives, etc.) will allow their use especially in eco- and bio-application engineering.
MAIN RESEARCH FIELDS
- Synthesis of polyurethanes and water-soluble polyurethane composites with the possibility of recovering the components
- Synthesis of polymeric materials with heterocyclic structures possesing improved thermo-mechanical resistance
- Studying the biodegradability of materials containing bio-components in the natural environment and under the action of specific fungi
- Synthesis of polyurethanes with bio-components and hyperbranched structures that are optimal matrices for fillings of natural materials (natural fibers, nano-clays, talc)
