Aromatic chemicals are a crucial constituent of plastics and bioplastics, conveying functionality such as strength and flexibility. At present, these chemicals can only be sourced economically from fossil-oil. However, lignocellulose is a potential low-cost and renewable input for aromatics both from lignin and indirectly from the cellulose portion. This project evaluates the commercial potential of novel work carried out at the University of Liverpool exploring aromatic chemical manufacture from cellulose. The project will evaluate sensitivity to feedstock type, improve reaction conditions and will be scaled to produce gram quantities. These chemicals will be converted into novel bioplastics and the properties of these materials tested. A techno-economic assessment of the overall process will be carried out to evaluate the commercial potential in both the bioplastic and broader plastics markets.

芳香化学品是塑料和生物塑料的重要组成部分，具有强度和柔韧性等功能。目前，这些化学物质只能从化石石油中经济地获取。然而，木质纤维素是一种潜在的低成本和可再生的芳烃来源，既可以从木质素中提取芳烃，也可以间接从纤维素部分提取芳烃。该项目评估了利物浦大学探索从纤维素中制造芳香化学品的新工作的商业潜力。该项目将评估对原料类型的敏感性，改善反应条件，并将按比例生产克数。这些化学物质将被转化为新型生物塑料，并对这些材料的性能进行测试。将对整个过程进行技术经济评估，以评估生物塑料和更广泛的塑料市场的商业潜力。
