SuReComp
Project summary:
The project aims to develop innovative two-component thermosetting polymer resins based on sustainably sourced carboxylic acids and to design high-performance composite materials reinforced with natural fiber fabrics. By utilizing bio-based resins derived from renewable resources, the goal is to achieve up to 80 % renewable content in the final material composition, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil-derived polymers. This development will contribute significantly to the advancement of environmentally friendly materials with potential applications across multiple sectors, including automotive, construction, and beyond. The project supports the broader transition toward renewable resource-based materials, fostering the emergence of next-generation bio-composites.
