Advanced polymer colloids designed for continuous-flow photochemical processes: towards sustainable photooxygenations of biobased molecules – APOFLOW
APOFLOW aims at designing innovative photoactive polymer colloids to achieve sustainable process for photooxygenation of biobased molecules. These colloids will help to intensify the performances (conversion, selectivity and energy-saving) of the LED-driven continuous-flow process while paving the way towards recycling of the photosensitizer (PhotoSens). They require then specific size and structure that will be reached through the implementation of a suitable macromolecular engineering. APOFLOW will assess the potential of polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) for producing and recovering in a controlled way polymer colloids with a shell functionalized with the PhotoSens. In order to tackle the challenges of increasing the sustainability of the overall process devoted to the photooxygenation of biobased molecules, APOFLOW will benefit from complementary expertise in macromolecular engineering, colloid science, photochemistry and chemical engineering.
