Last week, Claire Morand and Flore Kilens, PhD students of NATURE project, participated in the Chemical Science Symposium about Chemistry of Polymers organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry in London. They both had the opportunity to present their research through a poster and a flash oral presentation for Claire. This fascinating event was also […]
This week our CSO Coralie Jehanno participated in the international conference “Equality, Science, and Technology. For a paradigm shift” organised by Emakunde in San Sebastian. The different presentations and round tables on the inclusion of gender perspective in Research and Development have been fascinating and we have learned as much as we have felt understood. If only one number […]

In the framework of the NATURE project in collaboration with the University of Birmingham, we have the pleasure to host Gabriela Garbonova and Bige Batı! After a year of hard work in the group of Prof. Andrew Dove, they join the POLYKEY team for exploring the industrial perspectives of their respective doctoral projects! Welcome to POLYKEY!
Our latest article on synthesizing functionalized cyclic carbonates has been published in ACS Macro Letters. Check it if you want to learn more about the innovative process we employ at POLYKEY to transform waste commodity polycarbonate into valuable cyclic carbonates. A sustainable reaction to go from trash to treasure! Interested in added value cyclic carbonates? […]
Towards a greener recycling route for plastic bottles A protic ionic salt based on the simple mixing of an organic base, TBD, and an organic acid, MSA, has revealed incredible thermal resistance and catalytic abilities. With our new organocatalyst, the depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is possible in less than 2 h to yield more […]
