Manuscript Topics
Biopolymers based on renewable resources (starch and cellulose), based on monomers biobased (vegetable oils and lactic acid) and/or biopolymers synthesized by microorganisms like poly(hydroxyalkanoates (PHA), are generating a growing interest in the plastics industry. Due to the characteristic features of biodegradability, eco‐friendly manufacturing processes and its wide application ranges, biopolymers are important alternatives to unsustainable products.
Potential topics include, but are not restricted:
• Design and synthesis of new biopolymers and their characterization
• Manufacture of biopolymers
• New applications of biopolymers (medical,drug delivery, water treatment, membranes, hydrogels, adhesives, antioxidants, biosensors, and food packaging).
• 3d printing and bioprinting of biopolymers
