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.

Admission for international students – we know the results

Almost 500 international students from 39 countries were admitted to study at Gdańsk University of Technology in the academic year 2022/2023.

The number of international students is one of the important indicators taken into account when assessing the degree of internationalization of universities. A larger number of international students affects, inter alia, factors such as increasing the competitiveness of study programs and enhancing the intercultural and linguistic competencies of employees and students.
