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](/SCIENCEpartnership/images-multimedia/SCIENCE-images/ASTM-D2983-Brookfield-Low-Temp-500x421.jpg)
- 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](/SCIENCEpartnership/images-multimedia/SCIENCE-images/Current-Research-500x421.jpg)
- Lead by Professor David Haddleton, Warwick
- Development of low energy polymerisation methods
