Funded Activity Summary

Novel hybrid agricultural-byproduct/synthetic materials. The French partners have developed a method of converting low-value agricultural by-products into commodity plastics; however, the results are too water-sensitive to be useful. This project is to develop the science for grafting water-resistant moieties to this product, using mechanistically-based techniques developed by the Sydney group. The outcome would be technology for making useful materials from agricultural by-products that are currently of very low value in Australia.
