Projects
The researchers within AMIBM participate in a number of research projects. They collaborate closely with other universities and research institutes as well as the industry. AMIBM is involved in contract research for the industry and numerous collaborative research projects, funded among others by the Province of Limburg, the Dutch government or the European Commission.
BIOPYRANIA
Biobased monomers from second generation biomass for high performance polymers, copolymers and blends.

SuFiP-S
Sustainable and fire-safe plastics based on fully organic phosphorus-sulfur compounds.

MycoMatters
Developing next-generation sustainable mycelium-based materials.

Top-down covalent adaptable and circular epoxy networks
This project pioneers a completely new approach to make widely available epoxy-amine networks (e.g. windmill blades) recyclable, while they are normally not recyclable.

Wood to Wheels
Bringing Biomass and 1,3 butadiene in flow-chemistry.

SusInkCoat
Sustainable inks and coatings: developing switchable and adaptive functional polymers and additives for low environmental footprint

Repairtecture
The COMET module Repairtecture focuses on developing innovative simulation approaches, new materials, and design and connection concepts to create a circular economy for polymer-based products and composites that retain their function, properties, and attractiveness over a longer lifetime

A novel approach towards lignin-based non-isocyanate polyurethanes for self-healing anticorrosive coatings
The goal is to achieve solvent-free polymerization to reduce energy use. The resulting materials are expected to have excellent water resistance, antioxidant properties, and self-healing abilities, making them ideal for protecting metals from corrosion.

SMARAGD
The primary objective of AMIBM in the SMARAGD project is to implement IoT applications in aerogel production, aiming to expedite the digitalization of this field by developing tools for its implementation.

Alternative Peptide Synthesis Technologies
Peptides and proteins are essential for life and are the foundation for many research fields. Scientists are often interested in protein functions, e.g. to improve the activity of proteins or to understand their mode of action.

AsSuRe Bio
Development and life-cycle of Asphalt for more Sustainable urban pavements using Recycled and Bio-resources

DEEP
Digitalization of nonthermal Extraction of proteins from plant by-products and Electroforming as output Product

VITRIPRINT
From stereolithography to extrusion-based 3D printing with renewable and recyclable network polymers

DigiLignin
Digitization of lignin polyurethane development

LigDYN
Lignin based dynamic and circular thermosets.

CAREFREE
Dutch healthcare accounts for 7-8% of the total national greenhouse gas emissions. In hospitals, at least 20% of this is related to the operating theatre. This includes waste, inhalation gases for anesthesia, energy for air refreshment, and medicine residues in wastewater.

Realise BIO
In the Realise-Bio project, experienced partners will provide decisive impulses for the realisation of a circular bioeconomy and circular economy in the Interreg programme area in order to make the Germany-Netherlands border region greener and more liveable and to address global regional challenges such as climate change.

Circular Cultivation and Chemistry
In this program, we try to realize new ways to generate income and improve value chains that contribute to a circular economy, sustainable production and consumption, and healthy food - focusing on mission-driven innovations

B-CRISP
Biobased crystal polarization and semi-aromaticity for high polymer dielectrics

SusIsocyanide
The overarching goal of this proposal is to design new methods employing photo flow reactors for the synthesis of isocyanides at larger scale using bio-based scaffolds and visible light as sustainable energy resource.

MOF2H2
Metal Organic Frameworks for Hydrogen Production by Photocatalytic Overall Water Splitting

CUMERI
Customized membranes for green and resilient industries

CARBIOW
CARBIOW project will help Europe to take the lead in energy and transport sector decarbonization.

Totally Nuts
How can we develop sustainable and economically viable biobased epoxy thermosets and composites from cashew nutshell residue?

MODIFY
Lightweight, renewable origin, mild processing, and facile recyclability make thermoplastics the circular construction materials of choice. However, in additive manufacturing (AM), known as 3D printing, mass adoption of thermoplastics lags behind.

Sustainable citriculture through controlled release of antibacterial molecules from microgel-based formulations
The aim of this research project is the development of the bio-based and sustainable protection systems for citrus trees. Specifically, we will focus on the fabrication of stimuli-responsive microgels capable of strong binding to the leaves and controlled release of antibacterial molecules to combat citrus cancer.

METHASOL
International cooperation for selective conversion of CO2 into METHAnol under SOLar light (METHASOL)

Sustainability of biobased materials in a circular economy
As awareness, research and funding on biobased materials have increased significantly over the recent years, questions on how these innovative materials can help to close the material loops and address environmental issues have become more important than ever.

BioBased ValueCircle
BioBased ValueCircle offers a unique interdisciplinary research and training environment tailored for 12 early stage researchers (PhDs) excited by the development of innovative bio-based products, respecting the principles of the circular economy.

GLAUKOS
Glaukos will develop innovative textile fibres and textile coatings that reconcile an excellent environmental performance with adequate technical characteristics.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a versatile technique to quantify environmental impacts and compare different products and technologies.
