Researcher at Lubrizol

The SCIENCE Prosperity Partnership will use sustainable chemistry and polymer science to achieve new low-carbon innovations. The key objective is to produce sustainable products and processes, to reduce Lubrizol's carbon footprint. 

The research is split into two interlinking workpackages:  

Workpackage 1 - (HEADS)ASTM D2983 Brookfield Low Temp

- Lead by Professor Pete Licence, Nottingham

- Hydroelementation by Earth abundant catalysis

- Sustainable synthesis of N-containing surfactants and polymers

- Development of cleaner & more sustainable reactions

 

Workpackage 2 - (TAILS)

Sustainable Chemicals Research

- Lead by Professor David Haddleton, Warwick

- Development of low energy polymerisation methods

- Copolymerisation with renewable hydrocarbon monomers

- Development of macromolecular flow chemistry
