This session presents the new biomass-based composition from renewable resources. Now a days, it is simply located from the modern scenario of environmental preservation a continuous definition and approval of growingly restrictive policies and growth within the market demand for products with a lower ecological footprint. Especially the automobile sector has been identified as one of the most worried within the adoption of protectionist measures toward the environment preservation, translating some of their important concerns in the increase of green materials demands. The technical performances of the developed base biopolymers will be enhanced by means of the addition of natural reinforcements functionalized to better tailor its properties of compatibility, dispersion, aspect ratio, etc.

This session represents Properties and Materials Applications, Polysaccharides, Alginates, Reduction of the dependence on fossil resources.

The market for renewable chemicals is in its infancy and is projected to witness dynamic growth at a CAGR of over 10.0% between 2015 and 2020
