Session 3 – Wood- and biomass-derived polymers and chemicals – monomer synthesis, polymerization and materials perspective

Utilization of wood- and biomass derived polymers and chemicals as functional (macro)molecules is imperative for the transition to a green economy. Within this context, we here invite contributions focusing on green chemistry, catalysis, monomer synthesis, polymerization and materials in relation to wood and other biomass.
