Description

The course aims to give the participants an overview on circular materials chemistry, focusing on chemical and material products from plant resources. The course includes an overview on chemical composition and structure of plant biomass. The course will develop understanding in organic chemistry reaction mechanism concepts, lignocellulose chemistry in fractionation and lignocellulose chemistry in derivatization. Furthermore, the course aims for the students to be able to apply learned tools and skills in own research topic. 

Learning outcomes
