ABOUT US
Lukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Heavy Organic Synthesis "Blachownia" is an R&D center with over 70
years of experience in chemistry and material science.
Our research is dedicated to advance Circular Economy principles through the development of innovative
processing technologies for renewable raw materials.
We are committed to fostering close collaboration with industry partners, engaging in R&D consortia and offering
advisory services.
Our highly skilled team utilizes cutting-edge equipment to facilitate the production and analysis low-scale
chemicals and environmentally-friendly products from sustainable resources.
We are eager to contribute to proposals and collaborate on projects related to the chemical processing
of renewable materials, with a focus on creating valuable bio-derived products including polymer additives,
lubricants, coating materials, bio-fuels, and more.
OUR IDEA
We propose cooperation in synthesizing and utilizing new functionalized lignin derivatives as biodegradable
functional biocomponents for various composite material technologies, serving as bio-derived additives.
The advantage of these new biocomponents lies in their excellent biodegradability and enhanced compatibility
with other components, such as polymer matrices. These novel lignin-derived biocomponents offer significant
value within bio-based value chains, facilitating the processing of lignocellulosic biomass into new biomaterials.
We bring to the table our experience in the synthesizing new functional biomaterials derived from lignin,
as well as chitosan, starch and other renewable raw materials. Specifically, we offer partnership in developing
methods to process lignin into multifunctional additives tailored for various functional biomaterials.
We are seeking project partners or consortium formation to participate in this Call.
