Imagine a future where materials are based on abundant and relevant precursors, processed benignly, chemically recyclable with infinite recycling loops, and endowed with functions to perform tasks on demand. These are the guiding principles of the GPC group, which focuses on developing green synthetic chemistry methods for functional and sustainable biobased polymeric materials. Our research is highly multidisciplinary, covering polymer, organic, and biopolymer chemistry, with a central focus on the synthetic chemistry challenge. Our ambition is to always work from the initial building block or chemical problem all the way to the final application.
