ENZYFUNC Seminar

Lectures and seminars
Lignocellulosic biomass is considered one of the most viable alternatives to replace fossil-based raw materials for carbon-neutral advanced materials. While there are many promising methods to produce sustainable cellulosic packaging and textile materials, there is a clear need for sustainable and scalable surface functionalization methods. In this seminar, members of the ENZYFUNC research project will share insights on how to develop green, enzymatic methods for functionalize cellulosic surfaces.
