Sustainable polymer construction materials from agricultural waste

农业废弃物是世界上最丰富的石油替代品，可转化为建筑行业的环保生物基材料。该项目汇集了学术界和工业界之间的互补研究专长，旨在抓住这一机会，开发将农业废物经济地转化为原油的技术，以生产生物基树脂，粘合剂和聚氨酯。该项目预计将生产即用型石油基建筑材料的完全替代品。这将带来巨大的好处，包括通过提供可持续和快速应用于建筑，树脂和涂料行业的技术来支持澳大利亚制造业。

Agricultural waste is the world's most abundant petroleum alternative for transformation into environmentally friendly bio-based materials for the construction sectors. Bringing together complimentary research expertise between academia and industry, this project aims to address this opportunity and develop technologies that economically convert agricultural wastes to crude-oils to produce bio-based resins, adhesives and polyurethane. This project expects to produce ready-to-use, total replacements for petroleum-based construction materials. This should provide significant benefits including supporting Australian manufacturing by delivering technologies for sustainable and rapid adoption in the construction, resin and coating industries.
