Breakthrough Pain Points! Jiangnan University Collaborates with Korea's CJ to Develop PHA Processing Technology!

On March 17th, CJ Biomaterials, a subsidiary of South Korea's CJ Group, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Professor Ma Piming's research team from the School of Chemical and Materials Engineering at Jiangnan University (Environmental Friendly and Functional Composite Materials Research Center) in Wuxi. The two parties will collaborate on joint research focusing on PHA processing technology.

 

Professor Ma Piming's research group at Jiangnan University has long focused on the study of bio-based and biodegradable polymer materials. They have achieved fruitful results in fields such as polymer modification processing and condensed matter structure regulation, completing more than ten technical research projects for enterprises. CJ Biomaterials, as a leading global company in PHA industrialization, possesses a full-chain technology reserve from research and development to application. This collaboration will integrate the research advantages of the university with the industrialization experience of the enterprise, focusing on breakthrough solutions to the challenges in PHA processing and accelerating the commercialization process of PHA application solutions.

 

 

In 2024, both parties will complete multiple performance verifications of PHA materials through short-term technical service collaboration, laying the foundation for deepening cooperation. In 2025, both parties plan to focus on PHA innovative research and development by leveraging the national-level research platform of Jiangnan University and the global technology network of CJ Biomaterials.

 

 

According to industry forecasts, the global PHA market is expected to exceed $10 billion by 2030. This collaboration not only strengthens CJ Biomaterials' technological advantages in the field of biopolymers in China but also opens up new pathways for the transformation of Jiangnan University's research achievements, jointly promoting the industrial transformation of biodegradable materials as substitutes for traditional plastics.
