Research group Joseph Samec group
The team’s main focus is to valorize biobased residues and design of circular products.
Sustainable chemistry towards a circular biobased society
- Novel value chains that are assessed by LCA
- Design of materials that can be repaired and recycled
Valorization of biobased residues
- Valorization of Tops and Branches to textiles and green chemicals
- Valorization of beetle infected spruce to textiles and green chemicals
- Valorization of hybrid poplar to textiles and green chemicals
Methodology development for conversion of biobased feedstocks
- Lignin depolymerization
- Stereospecific substitution of enantiopure alcohols
- Levulinic acid and furfural through heterogeneous catalysis
