Chitosan is a nontoxic biopolymer biocompatible and naturally degradable with antibacterial antiviral and antifungal properties obtained from chitin the main constituent of hard body parts of invertebrates such as the shells of shrimp lobsters crabs
and collagen-like Yarger and his team had to examine the biopolymers tiny molecular structures that serve as the building blocks for the silk using the Biocars sector 14 at the Argonne National Laboratory-based APS.
A major determinant of industrial processing efficiency lies in the composition and cross-linking of biopolymers in the thick secondary cell walls of woody fibers.
Our analysis provides a much more comprehensive understanding of the genetic control of carbon allocation towards cell wall biopolymers in woody plants--a crucial step toward the development of future biomass crops.
Another recent example of the products it distributes into the food service industry is the Ingeo biopolymer-lined clamshell containers that it is selling in conjunction with Primelink.
which could be used by cafeterias or restaurants to package food-togo, combine bagasse-based shells with a biopolymer coating.
Bagasse-based containers include a biopolymer coating so that they won't leak. This is a great example of how the latest biomass technology can be used to solve a messy problem.
In this case, the algae serves as a biopolymer on the opposite end of the manufacturing pipeline--instead of reducing pollution from the creation of traditional plastic,
Joachim described the potential of biopolymers produced by living things, with the example of using a kind of massive mushroom grown within frames to create blocks of building materials.
These biopolymers often have comparable (if not superior) strength to conventional building materials like concrete. The emphasis there is heavily on the theoretical, of course."
