The International Symposium on Biopolymers (ISBP) is a successful series of symposia taking place usually every two years since the very first meeting in Toronto 1988. The 18th International Symposium on BioPolymers will take place from September 13-16 2022 and will be held in-person in the oldest city of Switzerland, Sion, and organized by University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO) and the University of Stuttgart. This Research Topic will host the proceedings of the conference with selected publications from conference participants. The Research Topic will comprise a collection of scientific publications related to the key elements that are presented at the Interna...
The Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) focusses on and addresses varying facets of PHA biosynthesis and processing, spread across three volumes. The first volume discusses feedstock aspects, enzymology, metabolism and genetic engineering of PHA biosynthesis. It addresses better understanding the mechanisms of PHA biosynthesis in scientific terms and profiting from this understanding in order to enhance PHA biosynthesis in bio-technological terms and in terms of PHA microstructure. It further discusses making PHA competitive for outperforming established petrol-based plastics on industrial scale and obstacles for market penetration of PHA. This second volume focusses on thermodynamic and...
The third volume of the Handbook of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) focusses on the production of functionalized PHA bio-polyesters, the post-synthetic modification of PHA, processing and additive manufacturing of PHA, development and properties of PHA-based (bio)composites and blends, the market potential of PHA and follow-up materials, different bulk- and niche applications of PHA, and the fate and use of spent PHA items. Divided into fourteen chapters, it describes functionalized PHA and PHA modification, processing and their application including degradation of spent PHA-based products and fate of these bio-polyesters during compositing and other disposal strategies. Aimed at graduate studen...
Composite Materials: Properties, Characterisation, and Applications provides an in-depth description of the synthesis, properties, and various characterisation techniques used for the study of composite materials. Covers applications and simulation tests of these advanced materials Presents real-world examples for demonstration Discusses surface, thermal, and electrical characterisation techniques Covers composites for use as sensors Aimed at industry professionals and researchers, this book offers readers thorough knowledge of the fundamentals as well as advanced level techniques involved in composite material characterisation, development, and applications.
Voltado para pesquisadores, professores e estudantes de cursos das áreas de exatas e biológicas, este volume apresenta um extenso panorama dos principais fundamentos para o estudo e a compreensão dos bioprocessos e suas aplicações. Entre os assuntos abordados estão: elementos e técnicas básicas de microbiologia; conceitos de engenharia genética e metabólica; obtenção, cultivo e manutenção de microrganismos; enzimologia; processos metabólicos e de obtenção de energia; cinética e estequiometria das reações enzimáticas e dos bioprocessos. Temas importantes como análise da lei brasileira de patentes, sustentabilidade e desenvolvimento sustentável, nanotecnologia e suas aplicações na biotecnologia e questões relacionadas à produção do etanol em destilarias brasileiras também são abordados.
