Sustainable and bioinspired materials are a driving force for sustainability.
Living, biological, and bioinspired materials will play a pivotal role in the future bio-economy by addressing resource scarcity and enabling the design of sustainable and efficient materials.
The field of "Sustainable & Bioinspired Materials" provides in-depth knowledge on the processing, structure, and properties of these materials, which are vital for a more sustainable future.
Core topics range from understanding biological systems and their building blocks, to exploring hierarchical wood structures and bioprocesses.
Other important areas include biochemical engineering, active and adaptive bioinspired materials, and life cycle assessment to ensure sustainable material development and usage.
