Project
Acrylic and Styrenic Monomers and Polymers from Biomass
The goal of this project is to develop new synthetic routes to bulk chemicals from biobased feedstocks using catalytic processes.
The BPM-ACTION project (Biobased Performance Materials programme – ‘Acrylic and Styrenic Monomers and Polymers from Biomass’) is a consortium of Wageningen University and Research Centre and 4 industrial partners, with the goal to develop new synthetic routes to bulk chemicals (styrene and acrylic acid) from biobased feedstocks (amino acids, carbohydrates) using catalytic processes (enzymes, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts).
