PROGRAMME 1
(1) BIOPOLYMER, BIOFUEL AND DERIVATIVES
Head of Programme: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohd Zulkhairi Mohd Yusoff
Description
This program covers development of biomaterials including biopolymers and biochemicals from lignocellulosic materials for application in related industries. It seeks new and enhanced technology for the conversion of lignocellulose into biopolymers and biochemicals. It develops products such as bioresins, edible polymers, hydrogel, bio additives, bio-based coatings, and bio-based laminating materials. The research includes liquefaction, cellulose modifications, pyrolysis, and bioconversion of lignocelluloses into biopolymers and biochemicals.
Research Scopes:
Stakeholders: Bio industry players, government agencies, local communities.

PROGRAMME 2
(2) PULP & PAPER TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS
Head of Programme: Dr. Ainun Zuriyati Mohamed @ Asa’ari
Description
This programme focuses on the preparation of pulp and nanofibres via chemical, mechanical, biological and combination of approaches aligned with environmental-friendly principles. The program also covers the whole chain of pulp and papermaking technology which comprises bleaching, deinking, finishing, testing and recycling. It also involves nanofibres production via chemical, mechanical, biological and combination processes. Specialty papermaking is one of the program’s focuses in developing insulator, water-resistant, information storage and enzymatic papers. This program also explores the development of smart papers for packaging applications such as active and intelligent papers involving safe and secure packaging.
Skop Penyelidikan / Research Scopes:

PROGRAMME 3
(3) BIOMASS INDUSTRY POLLUTION CONTROL
Head of Programme: TBD
Description
This programme focuses on the pollution control and remediation of biomass industry. The objective is to minimise pollution from biomass industry towards zero waste emission. This programme promotes the creation of sustainable value-added products from the biomass industry waste, its utilisation and environmental impacts of the products. Technical life cycle analysis of the entire production chain is included to create sustainable conversion methods for follow-up development by industry.
Research Scopes:
Stakeholders: Wood and biomass industry, government agencies, local communities.
