Green Chemistry

The SSPG has a strong focus on using green chemistry techniques for synthesis with industrial crops and agricultural waste streams to prepare reactive monomers. This includes:

• Renewable and resilient feedstocks
• Mild reaction conditions
• Solvent free synthesis
• Low toxicity reagents
• Minimal waste streams
• High atom economy
• Efficient catalysis
• Design for degradation
