Northeast Forestry University, located in Harbin, China, is actively involved in bioplastics research and development. The university collaborates with Shenyang University of Chemical Technology on developing high-strength, biodegradable plastics from bamboo cellulose using a non-toxic alcohol solvent process.
Research Focus
The university’s bioplastics research demonstrates that bamboo cellulose-based materials can match or exceed petroleum-based plastics in:
- Tensile strength
- Thermal stability
- Moldability
Key Achievements
- Biodegrades fully in soil within 50 days
- Retains 90% strength after recycling
- Suitable for high-performance applications
Primary Materials
Bamboo cellulose-based bioplastic
Market Segments
Automotive, appliances, construction, packaging, engineering
Collaboration
- Partner: Shenyang University of Chemical Technology
