Chemistry of Renewable Materials

About this programme

During this course you will learn fundamentals of safety, regulatory, and sustainability aspects of bio-based materials in order to establish a holistic understanding of the concept of circular bioeconomy. The theoretical content of the course will be supplemented by laboratory exercises through which you will get experience in design, fabrication, and characterization of renewable materials. *The case studies dwell deeper into the themes of sustainable chemistry in connection to the course content. In addition, you will receive assignments that are due prior to lectures. Lectures and assignments Most of the lectures contain case studies and discussions of assignments. In addition, you will work in a small group on a case study that the group will present to the class. You will also serve as an opponent to assess other groups' presentations. Laboratory Laboratory reports and a poster presentation (electronic and print) that are corrected until the level of reporting is acceptable. Laboratory - written reports (pass/fail grades). Completion of lab reports and poster presentation must be finished on time.
