    摘要: Disclosed is a process for producing a thermoformable and/or embossable particle/polymer composite using a ground particulate biological substrate S of nutrient tissue and a polymer P, characterized in that (i) the substrate S and the polymer P are homogeneously mixed, then (ii) the substrate S/polymer P mixture is converted into a particle layer, and thereafter (iii) the resulting particle layer is densified at a temperature higher than or equal to the glass transition temperature of the polymer P [TgP] to form a thermoformable and/or embossable particle/polymer composite, where (a) the substrate S comprises extracted ground coffee beans; and (b) the polymer P is thermoplastic and has a TgP≥20° C. measured according to DIN EN ISO 11357-2 (2013-09). Furthermore, a process for the manufacturing of a particle/polymer molding, a particle/polymer molding and its use as an element in buildings or in furniture are disclosed.
