18th International Symposium on Biopolymers (ISBP2022)

Biopolymers includes bio-based and/or biodegradable polymers. Such materials includes polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), polylactic acid, (exo)polysaccharides, chitosan, proteins, etc. They are of high interest as a remplacement for current non-biodegradable polymers to avoid the further development of plastic pollution of the environment. Furthermore, some of them can be produced from wastes from human activities, such as CO2, agricultural and food processing wastes, for instance.
The ISBP2022 covers a large variety of themes related to biopolymers, such as:
- feedstock nature and sustainability
- strain design, understanding and engineering
- production and fermentation processes design, monitoring, and optimization
- their processing and further modifications
- their characterization and their main functional properties
- their applications
- their recycling and end-of-life
