Polymers Webinar | Thermomechanical Development of Bio-Based Polymer Materials. Focus on Algae Biomass, Held on 29 June 2023


On 29 June 2023, MDPI and the journal Polymers (ISSN: 2073-4360) organized the webinar titled Thermomechanical Development of Bio-Based Polymer Materials. Focus on Algae Biomass. 

This webinar was focused on the development of new materials from algae bioresources through thermomechanical techniques. It also aimed at obtaining natural polymers from algae which could be used in different fields such as fertilizers, medicine, and as a raw material in the food industry. 

Please note that this webinar is associated with a Special Issue in Polymers entitled “Thermomechanical Development of Bio-Based Polymers Materials”.

You can watch the recorded webinar at the following:

Webinar Chairs and Keynote Speakers:

  • Prof. Dr. Carlos Bengoechea (Chair), Chemical Engineering Department, Universidad de Sevilla, Seville, Spain;
  • Dr. Estefanía Álvarez-Castillo (Chair), Chemical Engineering Department, Escuela Politécnica Superior de Sevilla, Universidad de Sevilla, Sevilla, Spain;
