Synthesis Technologies
Mechanochemistry and accelerated aging are solid-state synthetic approaches, which help avoid or minimize the use of solvents in chemical processing. This allows us to avoid the hazards and waste related to heating and recycling of solvents, leading to greener and safer chemical reactions.
SynTe group research explores how to use these solid-state methods to efficiently make and modify insoluble materials, such as cellulose, synthetic polymers and pigments, which require harsh reaction conditions and toxic solvents to bring into solution.
Our research focus is on:
- Solvent-free modification of cellulose nanomaterials
- Enzymatic transformation of biological and synthetic polymers
- Green organic synthesis
