Synthesis and processing methods for sustainable materials research at the Department of Chemistry focuses on the development of Green Chemistry synthesis routes and sustainable processing methods with reduced impact on humans and environment.
The synthesis and processing of materials utilises primarily benign resources such as bio-based, renewable and non-critical, often Earth-abundant materials. This also involves use and valorisation of waste-streams and preventing the formation of harmful side-products.
Research on the synthesis of sustainable materials is mainly driven by the principles of green chemistry.
The ambitious goal is the creation of materials with new properties and simultaneously to develop a synthetic pathway that ensures sustainability. This encompasses safe starting chemicals, renewable feedstocks, safe solvents, heterogenous catalysis, atom economy and life-cycle analysis.
