"Hey, are you OK?" project

Hey, are you ok?
Consultations with a psychologist, workshops on mediation and cultural differences, and even yoga and mindfulness classes - the project "Hey, are you OK?" addressed to students and employees of Gdańsk University of Technology starts in September.   

More and more universities in Poland, Europe and all over the world offer their students and employees support in the field of wellbeing. The constant presence of a psychologist at the university, events such as a mental health week, workshops and lectures on caring for mental and physical health are important elements of the activities of many universities.

Therefore, Gdańsk University of Technology has launched the project "Hey, are you OK?".

Polyurethanes from corn derivatives – an alternative to petrochemicals

Polyurethanes from corn derivatives – an alternative to petrochemicals
Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology developed a patented method of obtaining bio-based polyester polyols made from fermented corn products, which can replace petroleum derivatives in the production of polyurethanes, while maintaining the same processing parameters. Currently, they pursue European protection of the invention, which has been awarded at international fairs and can be used in the plastics industry for the production of e.g. elastomers, flexible foams, paints or varnishes.

– Polyurethane materials stand out among plastics in a peculiar way. Due to their mechanical properties, durability included, they are used in various industries, starting from medical, through automotive industry, to construction, often for extremely different applications. However, polyurethanes are quite expensive mainly due to the prices of intermediate materials used for their production and the prices of crude oil.
