Research project Circular lignin materials from well-defined functional building blocks (CIRCULIG)
The CIRCULIG project aims to revolutionize the use of lignin by creating circular lignin materials with functional properties derived from well-defined nanostructures.

The development of circular lignin materials necessitates novel methodologies for the synthesis, assembly, and recycling of these materials. These activities will pave the way for sustainable lignin materials with diverse applications in interdisciplinary areas such as energy and the environment. In summary, the CIRCULIG project seeks to drive fundamental science and innovation and sustainability in lignin-based materials.
Achieving this objective necessitates the development of novel methodologies for the synthesis, assembly, and recycling of these materials. These activities will pave the way for sustainable lignin materials with diverse applications in interdisciplinary areas such as energy and the environment.
