Country: Belgium
Biography: Prof.dr.ir. Gustaaf
Schoukens was
professor of polymer technology at
the He received his degree in Chemical Engineering from the K.U. Leuven ( He worked as senior researcher from 1978 till 2004 in the private
industry (Solvay; Central Research Laboratory) in the field of polymerization
and polymer processing. In 1994 he obtained the part-time
position of lecturer at the Polymer technology in general and polymer processing, including
synthetic and biopolymers, in particular are the main leads in his research
program and of its publications. The main research topics are now the
development of artificial turf for sport applications and the development of
biopolymers based on chitin or chitosan with biomedical properties. A more
recent research is the study of nanostructures, especially nanoparticles
obtained by reaction engineering. These nanoparticles are already used in large
quantities for the coating of paper and paperboards. I am an expert in the
production of monofilaments for artificial sport applications and founded ERCAT
(European Research Centre for Artificial Turf).
