We are excited to share with you the first newsletter of the r-LightBioCom project, which proposes a paradigm shift in the way high-performance composites (HPC) are manufactured and recycled, unlocking sustainable-by-design production of lightweight HPC.
In this issue, you will be able to find out about:
|
|
|
- dissemination and communication activities carried out in the last few months since the start of the project in January 2023.
- news and publications as well as
- upcoming events where you will be able to meet us!

Continuous sonochemical nanotransformation of lignin – Process design and control
Sílvia Pérez-Rafael, Guillem Ferreres, Tzanko Tzanov, et al.
In: Ultrasonics Sonochemistry; Elsevier; August 2023.
Lignin, the most abundant renewable aromatic polymer, has been successfully transformed into highly concentrated lignin nanoparticles using an eco-friendly continuous sonochemical process. By optimizing ultrasound parameters, researchers achieved precise control over particle size and distribution, paving the way for innovative material applications and the potential for real-time process monitoring.

r-LightBioCom joined the ECOSYSTEX community
|
|
|
In May 2023, r-LightBioCom became a member of ECOSYSTEX, a long-term community aimed at accelerating collaboration in textile sustainability.Read more under:

New Partner on Board
Due to the withdrawal of a partner at short notice before the project had started, one partner position had been vacant. But since the end of June 2023, this vacancy is filled by the SME Gen2Carbon.
We are pleased that the consortium is now complete and welcome Gen2Garbon in the r-LightBioCom consortium.
