Bio-based Phenolic Polymers
- Supervisor: Amin Shavandi
- Research center: BioMatter unit Biomass Transformation Lab
- Research start date: 01.10.2020
Description
This project aims to add value to Belgian brewers' spent grain (BSG) through the study of sustainable methods for the extraction of BSG’s phenolic compounds and the transformation of these molecules into bio-based polymers with potential application in the field of dental/health materials.
