INNOVATIVE BIO-BASED MATERIALS
Next February 1st & 2nd, PolyNat will organize its International Industries Forum :
Two days of conferences where several worldwide companies are presenting their innovations and R&D perspectives on bio-sourced materials.
This forum aims to build up and strenghten therelations between PolyNat researchers and current or (future) industrial partners on the subject of innovative materials used in various fields of application (packaging, microelectronic, health, cosmectics, etc).
THEME
Bio-based materials
Proposing alternatives to petro-sourced products is a key issue for many companies.

13:00 Conclusion of the Forum
– Lunch –
About twenty international companies (from Japan, Taiwan, Germany, USA, Portugal, Canada, Greece and France) were presenting their innovations and R&D perspectives on the theme of biosourced materials and devices to the audience of Carnot member researchers. A record attendance was reached this year with more than 110 people attending over the two days.
Showroom of bio-sourced demonstrators and presentations
Some researchers were invited to pitch their innovative project on bio-sourced materials in 3 minutes in front of the industrial audience. The exercise was carried out successfully and enabled project leaders to make initial contact with participants. The industrialists were then invited to discover the showroom of demonstrators from these same projects:
- JetCell’s enzymatic glucose biofuel cells,
- FunCell’s bio-sourced resin for wood panels and bio-sourced additives for nonwovens, papers and cardboard,
- Biosourced foams from the Microfoam, Cellufoam and SubioFoams projects,
- NanoSono’s ultrasonic and nanocellulose welding processes,
- Complex molded cellulose objects and 3D-Rapid Pro rapid prototyping,
- Biosourced materials based on walnut shells and wood for furniture and building from Valonoix
YOU ARE A COMPANY AND YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS FORUM ?
YOU ARE A POLYNAT RESEARCHER AND YOU WANT TO ATTEND ?
Please note that this event is for invited companies and research staff of PolyNat’s partners only.
