Research lines
The main research interests of BIOMAT group address various aspects of biodegradable materials from the extraction of raw materials to the end of life of products:
► Valorization of by-products and wastes to obtain raw materials
► Modification of biopolymers to improve functional properties
► Characterization of polymeric materials
► Optimization of processing conditions and methods to manufacture films and biocomposites
► Composting as the end of life of bioplastics
► Life cycle analysis of products and processes to assess environmental impact of biodegradable/compostable plastics
► Development of cross-linked proteins for bioprinting and 3D printing in tissue engineering
