Smithers Rapra’s Biopolymers Symposium 2014 will cover current industry drivers; advances in sustainable feedstocks; innovation in resins and monomers; functional non-plastic biopolymers; biopolymers and compostable packaging's role in zero waste; innovations in processing and performance and much more. Biopolymers 2014 is co-located with the BIO World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology, the largest international industrial biotech gathering, drawing 1,200 leaders in business, government and academia from nearly 40 countries.
Researchers have created a biopolymer sensor for detecting various pathogens and molecules that can be printed onto a wide range of materials.
biocompatible polymer scaffolds coated with carbon nanotubes could provide a vital foothold for regrowing cells
