This is the first newsletter of the BIOMAPS project, specifically devoted to a periodical update of the project outcomes, aiming to disseminate them to a wider public. Each newsletter develops a particular topic that will be developed and implemented in the upcoming three-years, providing the…

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polymers produced naturally by bacteria as a carbon and energy store. They are both biobased and biodegradable. This means that they are produced from renewable resources such as sugars and plant oils and they can be broken down by microorganisms to carbon dioxide…

This Guide provides a clear and accessible introduction to biobased vitrimers, a rapidly emerging class of materials in polymer science. Like other emerging sustainable materials, vitrimers combine complex chemistry and real-world applications, which can be difficult to understand. For this…
