Thermal & Electrical Conductive Fibre and Plastic Materials Centexbel - Scientific and Technical Centre of the Belgian Textile industry
The goal of the TECMAT project is the development of a novel type of thermal and electrical conductive compound with high conductivities and improved processability in a wide range of processing techniques, extending the margin of possible applications for conductive composites. The basic idea is to create a composite, consisting of medium viscosity conductive composite domains in which the conductive fillers are concentrated and which ...
Valorization of humins as a bio-based feedstock in the synthesis of functional polymers KU Leuven
Humins are by-products of many emerging biorefinery processes, where a lignocellulosic biomass is converted into platform chemicals. Leading to a large carbon loss throughout the process, their formation is however ubiquitous, which makes them an important factor in the overall strategy and process feasibility. A successful valorization of humins would open up new possibilities and increase profits of biorefinery operations. Therefore, that ...
