Organisation profile

Transforming biorenewable and sustainable materials for the future through the integration across-disciplines.

Conducting research that enables innovative synthesis, processing and manufacturing technologies, with net-zero emission, for a natural bioeconomy with key focus on the science and engineering of innovative materials into research, education, and public outreach initiatives.

At the Biorefining & Advanced Materials Research Centre (BAMRC) we work closely with governments across the UK, national and international research partners, and industrial partners, on the development of sustainable, innovative and environmental solutions for the global circular bioeconomy challenges.

We aim to improve the fundamental knowledge of the synthesis, bioprocessing, properties, and biomanufacturing of bio-based and functional materials, as well as to develop trustworthy materials characteristics data for industrial partners and support large-scale industrial implementation of renewable materials.

Our research efforts enable innovative synthesis, bioprocessing, manufacturing and recycling technologies. We apply different chemical, mechanical and biotechnological approaches to identify best strategies and build optimal synthesis and manufacturing technologies.

The current and future research include establishing new methods to design and develop functional and sustainable materials that meet performance requirements with increasing recyclability.

Our research is multi-disciplinary and involve faculty, both graduate and undergraduate students from a spectrum of disciplines.
