Do you love chemistry as a school subject? Then why not join our ONLINE lectures on interesting topics in chemistry? Here, you’ll explore scientific phenomena in a way that’s easy to understand.
This will help you in school and may even pave the way for you to pursue a degree in the Natural and Environmental Sciences later on.
The Chemistry of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Plastics
- What are natural fiber-reinforced plastics? Which natural fibers are suitable for their production? Where do they come from? What are they made of?
- Guided by the vision of “Living and producing at the industrial level of the 21st century using what nature provides—natural fibers, (bio)polymers, the circular economy, and renewable energy—this is where we see our future,” staff at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences have been conducting research on these materials as part of a research partnership for several years now.
- In addition to scientific content presented in an accessible manner, the role of chemistry—from fiber extraction to recycling—is illustrated using concrete examples.
Our lecturer, Prof. Dr. Jens Weber, is a professor and researcher at HSZG specializing in physical chemistry. As Dean, he heads the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences.
Class time: 6:00–7:00 p.m.
