Description:
This session will focus on the synthesis and structure-property relationship of biopolymers made from biological/biomimetic building blocks (e.g., amino acids, nucleic acids, or peptoids), and/or synthesis from bio-based and bio-renewable sources. Biopolymers include fusion proteins conjugated with synthetic polymers or polypeptides. These polymers may be amorphous, semi-crystalline or supramolecular gels. Experimental results, simulations, and theoretical/modeling are equally welcome. ***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status*** +++Note: this session will be sorted jointly with “Hydrogel Biomaterials” and “Renewable Polymers and Intermediates Technology.” Authors whose work falls under the scope of both sessions may submit to either.+++
