Shared scientific priorities
Materials designed for end-of-life options
The portfolio focuses on materials that can be reprocessed, repaired, degraded, or chemically recycled instead of being treated as disposable plastic waste.
Bio-based polymeric architectures
Research activities use renewable feedstocks, PLA, macrolactones, natural fibers, and waste-derived fillers for polymer systems and composites.
Textile and footwear applications
The MICS projects move polymer innovation toward industrial sectors with high environmental impact, including fashion, textiles, and footwear.
New collaborations
