    Ssuchy

    Developing innovative materials from sustainable resources

    SSUCHY is a major European project contributing to the development of composite materials from renewable resources for the transport and audio sectors.

    By engaging with the bio-based composites sector, this now closed project aimed to increase sustainability and European competitiveness.

    The aim was to demonstrate advanced functionalities of new bio-based composite structures and products at the demonstrator level:

    • Biobased polymers – laboratory scale: to contribute to the development and optimisation of tailor-made lignin-derived monomers for high performance polymers,
    • Plant fibres – pilot scale: creation of fibre reinforcement preforms – hemp or hybrids – that are competitive with products currently on the market,
    • Bio-based composites: optimisation and functionalisation of bio-based composites,
    • Industrial demonstrators: use of the technical building blocks developed in the “biosourced composites” axis to obtain demonstrators in the field of transport – automobile and aeronautics, as well as high-end audio.
