Advanced Research & Development

Advanced Research and Development

Verdex’s research and innovation teams lead the way in advanced materials science, polymer science, nanotechnology, nonwovens, and chemical engineering.

Our researchers constantly look for new sustainable solutions using cutting-edge technologies to realize new ground breaking ideas.

Sustainable Organic Chemistry

We seek innovative routes to eco-efficient products and processes thanks to nanotechnology, organic chemistry or biotechnologies.

Functional Materials

We tackle the challenges for a new wave of technology with functional materials and particles that harness specific valuable properties, such as hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity, membrane, and flame retardant products.

Process & Technology Innovation

Our chemical engineers, with expertise in process and technology, are at the very heart of how we do chemistry. The disruptive processes they develop optimize the environmental footprint of our production activities, reducing waste and emissions as well as energy and raw material consumption.

Our modelling experts specialize in conceiving process design and scaling up. They support also industrial teams with optimizing, revamping or debottlenecking of our production units or by providing data analysis.

To make sure the solutions we conceive are eco-efficient, a dedicated team provides economic and environmental evaluations for our innovation projects and life cycle analysis for new products.

Advanced Polymer Materials

We develop sustainable solutions for bio-based polymers and advanced materials such as thermoplastic composites or products for filtration. Our teams focus on semi-crystalline polymers, elastomers, and combinations of non-polar and polar polymers.
