AMI, e (amitié) friend A person with whom one has
a bond of mutual affection
• A unique cooperation of UM, RWTH and Fraunhofer
• Realised with substantial financial support of the Province of Limburg
• Situated at Brightlands Chemelot Campus
Many friends pushed the initiative

Enzymatic conversion of Chitin into Chitosan
15
REM image of „Chi5“
• Crab shells: food industry waste containing chitin
• Bacterial strain „Chi5“ is able to degrade chitin
• Development of „Chi 5” enzymes to target conversion from chitin to chitosan
15
New biobased building blocks
• Biobased aromates: winning twin brothers of blockbusting benzenic monomers? (~50 MioT/a production)
• Exclusive aromates in the materials world
• Thought and designed to bring extra functionality in fibers and coatings
16
Tailoring entangled state for ultimate performance
17
Biobased polymers - Poly Lactic Acid - Poly Hydroxy
Alkanoates
• Unique control over synthesis, entanglement density and crystal morphology of PE
• Resulting in excellent properties like ultra high breaking tenacity
• Extending the knowledge to Biobased Polymers

Making biodegradable Polymers more suitable for Medical Use
• State of the art materials lack specialised properties for medical use!
• Biodegradable (biobased) polymers are essential biomaterials in medicine
• Developing strategies for pH- neutral degradation in human body
