biopolymer PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 7 biopolymer PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Functional Biopolymer-based Composite Materials

Newcastle University School of Engineering

Natural biopolymers such as polysaccharides (e.g. chitin/chitosan, cellulose, starch, and alginate) and proteins are widely available, biodegradable, biocompatible, chemically versatile, and inherently functional and thus have huge potential in developing advanced functional materials. . Read more

Nanocellulose as a sustainable electrolyte for electrochemical energy conversion

University of Strathclyde Department of Chemical and Process Engineering

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) can convert renewable energy into green hydrogen, whilst polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) convert hydrogen into electrical power.
