Curriculum:
Cor Koning (1957) studied polymer chemistry and obtained his PhD degree at the University
of Groningen, the Netherlands. In 1987 he was appointed as Researcher on Engineering
Plastics/Resins/New Polymers at the industrial laboratory of DSM Research in Geleen.
In 2000 he became full professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology and he was head
of the department of Polymer Chemistry for the next 11 years. In September 2011 he
returned to industry and started working for DSM Coating Resins in the Netherlands, location
Zwolle, as a principle scientist/Science Manager Polycondensates, while keeping a part-time
appointment as professor at the University of Eindhoven. Cor Koning is (co)author of over
200 scientific papers, of a book on nano-composites and of ca. 60 patent applications. So far
he was the scientific supervisor of 45 PhD students.
Abstract:
The presentation will give an overview of the results obtained within the framework of the
project BPM-020 ‘MoBioSol’. The project consortium consisted of the partners Avantium,
CRODA, DSM, TU/e and WUR-FBR.
During the presentation it will be shown that 1) the renewable materials 2,5furandicarboxylic acid and its dimethylester, provided by Avantium, 2) a fatty acid dimer diol
as well as a new bio-based C18 diol, provided by Croda, and 3) partially bio-based building
blocks synthesized at FBR, are very interesting raw materials with high potential for (partially)
renewable polyesters for (powder) coating and/or engineering plastics applications.
The renewable polyesters for coating applications were synthesized by conventional meltpolymerization. Some (powder) coating properties will be presented. The partially renewable,
potential engineering plastics were prepared by the concept of solid-state modification (SSM)
of poly(butylene terephthalate), a mild technique with low energy consumption, especially
suitable for the incorporation of thermally labile sugar derivatives into the main chain of
semi-crystalline polyesters. It will be shown that the SSM technique has significant
advantages over the conventional melt-polymerization technique if the thermal properties of
the corresponding copolyesters are compared. .
