Designing Plant-Based Functional Materials Towards Carbon-Negative Applications – Webinar (Free)
Thursday, May 25th | 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM ET |
Recent developments towards resource-wise societies and use of renewable materials have created a strong incentive to utilize biomass-derived materials as an alternative to oil-based polymers. These materials combine large volumes, low cost, and a range of unique functional properties depending on the composition of the starting biomaterial. As examples of their implementation to emerging applications, I will discuss supercapacitors and self-cleaning light-management layers for third generation photovoltaics. At the other end of application range, at established high-volume applications, I will showcase how biowaste can be converted into carbon-negative sound absorption and insulation materials. In principle, all of these materials can be produced with circular economy approaches by using agricultural and industrial biowaste bringing attractive environmental and economic benefits.
