Reusing waste as a source for new materials appears to be an effective way to reduce the use of fossil-based sources in the production of materials such as plastic. However, how do you do this on a large industrial scale? In late November, Maastricht University and its partners TNO and Brightlands...

Hoe kook je een suikerbiet zo, dat je er plastic uit krijgt? Die vraag beantwoordt Ola Wróblewska in haar dissertatie, waarmee ze gelijk ook de allereerste promovendus van Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials is.

Het hoofddoel van het BB100-project is de ontwikkeling van een procesketen naar volledig biogebaseerde kunstmatige vezelmaterialen. Tijdens dit slotevenement zullen de resultaten van het BB100-project worden getoond, welke uitdagingen zijn aangegaan en welke toekomstige stappen moeten worden genomen.

Tachtig jaar geleden opende DSM in Geleen zijn centrale laboratorium voor fundamenteel onderzoek. Nu is het oude lab onderdeel van Brightlands Chemelot Campus. Komend najaar wordt met het Festival Feel the Chemistry uitgebreid stilgestaan bij tachtig jaar innovatie én vooruitgekeken naar de toekomst...

Researchers at the MERLN Institute for regenerative medicine launched a new worldwide research database for biomaterials, called the Compendium for Biomaterial Transcriptomics (cBiT). It is their goal to quickly expand cBiT with new biomaterial data, generated not only in MERLN but also in institutions...

Eighty years ago, DSM opened its central laboratory for fundamental research in Geleen. Now the old lab is part of the Brightlands Chemelot Campus. This coming fall, the Festival Feel the Chemistry will look back on eighty years of innovation and will also look ahead to the future. Maastricht...

The Royal Association of the Dutch Chemical Industry (VNCI) has awarded a scholarship to Vincent Nieboer, a newly admitted master’s student Biobased Materials.

The Menno Knetsch Award 2021 has been awarded to MSc Biobased Materials graduate Matilde della Fontana. Matilde completed her thesis at the sustainability group of the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Yvonne van der Meer.

How do you cook a sugar beet to obtain bioplastics? Ola Wróblewska answered this question in her dissertation, with with she earned the first ever doctorate at the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials.
