Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) : going into unknown territory
In connection with our involvement in the BIZENTE project issues around LCA on ”an unknown chemical substance” as the new BIO based Resins, that have been developed in the project. To conduct an LCA on [...]
The use of vitrimers in the BIZENTE project
In this project, SPECIFIC POLYMERS will notably be in charge of the chemical modification of thermoset resin composition to ease the enzymatic degradation of composite materials without affecting their mechanical properties. To do so, we [...]
Towards enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant epoxy-polymers
Today’s society is based on synthetic polymers; practically every area of our daily life is permeated with polymers. Unfortunately, the first generations of polymeric materials surrounding us today have been designed for durability rather than [...]
Bizente, at school: toxicity test during a one-week meeting with high-skilled students
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ztMtGTXWZc The University of Cadiz organized an interesting activity to bring science and the BIZENTE project closer to students with high capacities, within the course "Toxicity assessment as a practical tool and early [...]
Teruel, a strategic enclave for the areospace industry
In the last decade, Teruel airport has become a worldwide known aeronautical hub in the aviation industry. Aircraft painting business will shortly be added to aircraft parking, maintenance and recycling services that are already available. [...]
Customised enzymes on model compound in liquid medium
In this task, TUDelft investigates the principal feasibility of ligninases, specifically peroxygenases to oxidatively cleave the backbone of common thermoset composites. The chemical philosophy of this approach is based on the higher reactivity of C-H [...]
Towards biocatalytic depolymerisation of recalcitrant polymers
Bizente gets to the last month of the year with promising developments. Polymers are an indispensable part of our modern life. The chemical structure of today’s polymers, however, also poses an enormous environmental challenge with [...]
Innovation and synergies at the Bizente’s stakeholders meeting
Within the framework of the M30 General Assembly, and hosted by the coordinator Aitiip Technology Center, Bizente's Consotrium also celebrated a stakeholders meeting, where a dozen of industrial representatives had the oportunity to meet Bizente's [...]
Bizente celebrates its M30 General Assembly at Aitiip’s facilities
Last November, Bizente celebrated its General Assembly at Aitiip's facilities, coinciding with the month 30 of the project lifetime. All the Consortium members were reunited with the aim of putting together the project progresses within [...]
