Chemistry for sustainable building materials

New PhD Student

July 1st, 2024 | by

We have welcomed Lena Schmitz to the bio-based building materials department in July. In her dissertation, she is investigating the properties and potential applications of the fibre protein keratin, which is obtained from sheep’s wool, feathers, hair and hooves, among other things. She is trying to recycle these waste products sensibly and research environmentally friendly, resource-saving and sustainable materials for the construction industry. We wish her every success with her research and welcome her to the working group.
