The MatBio group takes a multidisciplinary, integrated approach to research in the field of biobased materials, ranging from elementary building blocks derived from plant biomass to composites and fiber-based materials for applications in the packaging, healthcare and construction sectors.The team is also focusing its research on process engineering for the production of biobased materials.
