This international conference is on biodegradable polymers, an important area for the development of green technologies. The unique feature of this conference will be the emphasis on newly emerging natural biodegradable polymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates which are produced using microbial fermentation. Professor Alexander Steinbuchel, Director of the Institut für Mikrobiologie at the University of Muester, Germany, a pioneer in the area of biopolymers, will be the plenary speaker. Other speakers are eminent researchers covering a wide range of expertise involved in this interdisciplinary conference. The major areas to be covered are biotechnology, material science and biomedical applications including tissue engineering.
The programme will be of interest to academic group leaders, researchers, research organisations, industry, government laboratories and managers involved in the area of production, synthesis, characterisation and application of biodegradable polymers. It will provide a broad overview of this newly emerging and exciting interdisciplinary area.
