📋 Tender Overview
Circular Lignin Materials From Well-Defined Functional Building Blocks
Turning Waste Lignin Into Valuable Productslignin Is A Naturally Occurring Material Which Gives Trees Structural Support And Helps Them Build Resistance To Biochemical Degradation. The Forest Industry Currently Burns The Majority Of Lignin In Their Energy And Chemical Recovery Processes. Funded By The European Research Council, The Circulig Project Aims To Use Lignin As A Building Block For Materials That Can Be Recycled, Thereby Extending The Life Cycle Of Forest Products. Researchers Will Investigate New Synthesis And Assembly Approaches To Overcome Obstacles To Lignin Use, Focusing On Improving Solvent Stability And Functionality Of Lignin Nanoparticles, And Generating Lignin Fibres Incorporating Inorganic And Metal Nanoparticles. Circulig Will Open New Frontiers For Sustainable Lignin-Based Materials That Can Be Recycled, Which Combine Functionality And Design.
