Composites

Session 267 - Biocomposites
This session welcomes contributions from all areas of “Biocomposites” ranging from environment-friendly biodegradable composites to biomedical composites for drug/gene delivery and tissue engineering applications. Relevant topics include novel preparation and characterization methods, relationship between composite morphology and properties/applications, and theoretical and experimental studies exploring the “filler-matrix” interactions in these systems.
