High performance industrial polymers based on modified starch

Objective

HYDROSTAR is an integrated European project on the utilization of starch and starch derivatives in high quality , high value industrial polymers and a parallel assessment of the sustainability of such industrial polymers. The project addresses the needs of European society for a more sustainable feedstock base for large volume, high performance industrially useful polymers, used in decorative surface coatings, adhesives, paper coating and chemicals, extruded dermoplastics, superabsorbants and co builders for detergents, by changing the feedstocks of such polymers to more renewable raw materials. This will reduce finite resource consumption, be more environmentally benign as the renewable raw materials present less toxic handling and utilization hazards and provide additional markets for materials from a wide range of European sourced crops such a potato, wheat, maize, barley and oats.
