Laboratory of Sustainable Polymers

Welcome to SusPol Research Group!


Rapid depletion of fossil and petroleum resources is encouraging current and future chemists to orient their research toward designing safer chemicals, products, and processes from renewable feedstock with an increased awareness of environmental and industrial impact.

The key objectives of our research come under the broad heading of the sustainable polymer chemistry. The two primary elements in our research program are:

• Novel Monomers and Polymers from Plant Oils as Renewable Resources

•  Environmentally Flame Retardant Polymers
