| Data : 06 e 07 de março de 2008 Local : Veracruz (México) Biopolymeric Materials Engineering (BIOPMAT) Is a project that circumscribes within the world trends denominated "Green Chemistry" and also within the one known as "Engineering for life". The term Biopolymers is used to describe a series of materials. They can be classified in two categories mainly: - Polymers produced by biological systems, such as microorganisms, plants and animals; and - Polymers chemically synthesized but derived from initial biological materials, such as amino acids, sugars, natural lipids, or oils. The biopolymeric materials are renewable, biodegradable and biocompatible, reason why their future and present applications are only limited by our imagination. Some applications are: adhesives, packages, adsorbents, lubricants, soil conditioners, cosmetics, fabrics, structural materials, computer information storage hardware, implants, etc. Because of it's multiple present and potential applications, the conference's nature claims a transdisciplinary approach. |
