BioZone BITS: Bio-plastics and bio-textiles from bacterial protein fibers
Professor Noémie-Manuelle Dorval Courchesne Department of Chemical Engineering McGill University Protein-based materials represent sustainable and easily customizable alternatives to conventional synthetic polymers. With their biocompatibility, bioactivity and genetic tunability, proteins can be customized for a range of applications. Specifically, protein materials that self-assemble into macromolecular structures and can be produced at large scale are of […]
