Join us for this important international conference that will examine the latest developments in the innovation commercialization, technology, economics and applications of greener materials and biocomposites in automotive, building and packaging sectors. The conference will include oral, panel and poster presentations as well as industrial exhibitions. This is also an excellent, opportunity for networking with academia, industries, government and colleagues from around the world.
The following major topics will be covered:
|
|
- The transition in green resins and biofibres including bioresins, biofibers, bioplastics, hybrid plastics and bio-additives.
- Nano processing technologies; including energy-efficient processing, micro-and nano-fibre manufacturing, and nano-fiber enabled products.
- Single-step manufacturing technologies including extrusion, injection molding, foaming and biocomposite processing.
- Design and performance issues; including strength and physical properties, creep, durability, fire performance and codes & standards.
- Application and prototyping; real life applications in automotive, furniture, building, construction, packaging, technical products, and prototype manufacturing.
- Economic and environmental issues; including cost versus performance issues, recycling, life cycle analysis, composting and biodegradability.
The conference is sponsored and hosted by the Centre for Biocomposites & Biomaterials Processing, Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto and co-sponsored by the Forest Products Laboratory of the USDA-Forest Service, Luleå University of Technology, Bioproducts Discovery and Developement Centre, University of Guelph; National Research Council, Canada; (CRIBE) Centre for Research & Innovation for Bio-Economy; Ontario BioAuto Council.
