Polymeric hydrogels represent a fascinating form of materials that are able to bind water in a polymeric matrix. The very fact that water is bound in this form allows the manipulation of water storage and release as well as properties such as viscosity. For polymers with stimuli responsive behaviour, these…

The collective strive towards a more sustainable and circular economy converges academic and industrial efforts on the increased implementation of biobased raw materials to produce items of daily use such as packaging, bags, bottles etc. Among others, the conversion of carbohydrates to 5-HMF an finally to 2,5-FDCA is a promising…

In this Innosuisse funded Project (105.146.1 IP-ENG) we aim to develop robust fluorine free textile coatings for oil and water repellence. Up to date perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are used for oil, stain and water repellence in the textile and coating industry. Due to environmental and health concerns such compounds will…
