BikiarisLab participated in the 9th IUPAC International Conference on Green Chemistry, which took place in Athens, Greece, on 5th – 9th September 2022 at Zappeion Megaron.
Prof. Bikiaris gave keynote a oral presentation on Wednesday morning, with the title "European Sustainable Biobased Nanomaterials Community (BIOMAC): From biomass pretreatment for monomers and additives extraction to the synthesis of biobased composites".
Prof Bikiaris presenting the BIOMAC project.
To disseminate the results of PL2 of the BIOMAC project, Kyriazis Rekos presented the poster "Glucose hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis towards sugar alcohols over Pt/Ru catalysts supported on micro/mesoporous activated carbon" and prof. Triantafyllidis the poster "European Sustainable BIO-based nanoMAterials Community (BIOMAC)".
Our team, along with the team of prof. Triantafyllidis, had the opportunity to meet with other members of the BIOMAC consortium and help disseminate the project, as well as the FUR4Sustain COST action Chair and Vice Chair, Dr Andreia Sousa and Dr Nathanael Guigo.
