Call for papers and scientific posters

Bio conference 2023 Call for papers

CALL FOR PAPERS AND SCIENTIFIC POSTERS IS CLOSED

The importance of bio-based and biodegradable materials is still growing in the European textile and plastic converting industries. Each year, new applications are being developed imposing increasingly stringent demands on mechanical properties, durability and additional functionalities, such as tailored biodegradation.

The 4th International Conference on Bio-based and Biodegradable Textiles and Plastics will identify the main changes and trends in the fields of bio-based and biodegradable textiles and plastics, and provide a comprehensive update of all aspects for commercial applications. 

We kindly invite you to present a scientific poster at the conference.
