Barrier Workshop bioORMOCER®

Together for a clean environment and trendsetting products

The department »Barrier and Multifunctional Layers« of Fraunhofer ISC is going to present current developments and know-how to give a close insight into their work that focuses among other things on biodegradable functional coating materials. The new bio-based and bio-degradable material class bioORMOCER® allows to produce e.g. biodegradable barrier layers for food, pharmaceutical and cosmectics packaging.

Worldwide, plastic is an intensively discussed topic. More and more problems arising from littering and micro particles in the (sea) water call for sustainable solutions for the future. Bioplastics made from bio-based or biodegradable materials are promising although, until now, they could hardly meet the standard demands, e.g. barrier properties, for product applications.

The new bio-based and bio-degradable material class bioORMOCER® of Fraunhofer ISC, however, is up to par. This new class of materials allows to produce e.g. biodegradable barrier layers which are capable of competing with conventional barrier coating materials. With their good barrier properties against water vapor and oxygen, they are the missing link for ambitious biodegradable barrier films for food, pharmaceutical or cosmetics packaging.

Additionally, bioORMOCER® has the perspective to be biocompatible and resorbable. In physiological environments, they may be the basis for advanced solutions in medical applications due to their good barrier properties or antimicrobial functions. Furthermore, several additional functionalities resulting from the modular concept of (bio)ORMOCER® complete the material performance.

Therefore, bioplastic activated with bioORMOCER® opens a wide range of applications and helps to make sustainable solutions most attractive for future products. In the workshop you will have the occasion to learn more about the wide range of opportunities offered by bioORMOCER® and to discuss trends and future needs of material performances. A guided tour of the Center of Applied Analytics ZAA opens up an interesting backstage view on Fraunhofer ISC's R&D.

After the workshop, Fraunhofer ISC offers an informal networking evening in the historic center of Würzburg.

Hilfe

Die Suche / Erweiterte Suche im idw-Archiv
Verknüpfungen

Sie können Suchbegriffe mit und, oder und / oder nicht verknüpfen, z. B. Philo nicht logie.

Klammern

Verknüpfungen können Sie mit Klammern voneinander trennen, z. B. (Philo nicht logie) oder (Psycho und logie).

Wortgruppen

Zusammenhängende Worte werden als Wortgruppe gesucht, wenn Sie sie in Anführungsstriche setzen, z. B. „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“.

Auswahlkriterien

Die Erweiterte Suche können Sie auch nutzen, ohne Suchbegriffe einzugeben. Sie orientiert sich dann an den Kriterien, die Sie ausgewählt haben (z. B. nach dem Land oder dem Sachgebiet).

Haben Sie in einer Kategorie kein Kriterium ausgewählt, wird die gesamte Kategorie durchsucht (z.B. alle Sachgebiete oder alle Länder).
