Summary
This special issue of Journal of Renewable Materials contains the contributions of authors at the fifth edition of International Conference on Biobased Materials and Composites (ICBMC 19), held in Monastir, Tunisia. This conference is one of the most successful scientific events in the field of biobased materials and composites. The goal of the ICBMC conference series is to foster understanding, scientific and technical progress, and recent knowledge in the field of natural polymers extraction, biopolymers, biomaterials and their blends, composites, biobased materials for energy conversion and IPNs. The conference was attended by many participants from more than 15 countries all over the word: Chemists, Physicists, Biologists, Technologists, Doctors and Engineers. This conference was the opportunity for providing a discussion forum for the worldwide community of scientists and engineers in the field of bio-based materials and composites. Many contributions from interdisciplinary research were presented on processing, morphology, structure and properties of natural polymers, biomaterials, biopolymers, their blends, composites, IPNS and gels from macro to nano scales and their various applications. Contributions on biocomposites, bionanocomposites, valorisation of natural products were numerous and their scientific quality was qualified as very good by the scientific committee of ICBMC conference. In this special issue, papers on topical contribution in the field of self assembled biomaterials and nanocomposites, Biomaterials supported catalysts, Natural polymers based aerogels, Biosourced polyesters, etc. are submitted.
