Bio-based material - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A bio-based material is simply an engineering material made from substances derived from living tissues. These materials are sometimes referred to as biomaterials, but this word also has another meaning.

Biomaterial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Surface functionalization may provide a way to transform a bio-inert material into a biomimetic or even bio-active material by coupling of protein layers to the surface, or coating the surface with self-assembling peptide scaffolds to lend bioactivity and/or cell attachment 3-D matrix. In surgery, a biomaterial is a synthetic or natural material used to replace part of a living system or to function in intimate contact with living tissue. Biomimetic materials are not made by living things but have compositions and properties similar to those made by living things. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Biomaterial   (550 words)

The Bio-based Economy Materials such as lumber, cotton, and silk are 90% bio-based, and the NRC Report target is 99%.

The Hindu Business Line : Keen interest in bio-based materials On its cost-effectiveness, he says the cost of such bio-based material can match or even be competitive to the petro-chemical derivative. Corn can be used in fermentation, which in turn produces organisms or bacteria that produce artificial textile material or polymers. WHILE crude prices are hovering near $60 a barrel, companies that derive their products from petro-chemicals are increasingly looking at alternative sources for raw materials. www.thehindubusinessline.com /2005/06/26/stories/2005062601400500.htm   (636 words)

Resource: Bio-based Carbohydrate Economy The carbohydrate economy web site of the Minneapolis-based Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) provides information on industrial uses of plant matter, including biobased paints, inks and chemicals, biofuels and renewable construction materials. A carbohydrate economy, or bio-economy, is based on plant matter rather than on hydrocarbons such as petroleum, with their attendant environmental problems.

Ag Products Utilization Forum Home Biofiber reinforced petroleum-based plastic biocomposites can at this time produce a structural material with a balance between ecology, economy and technology. The US Research and Development Act of 2000 along with Presidential Executive Orders 13134 and 13104 and the recent "Farm Bill" signed by President Bush on May 13, 2002 together provide a new impetus for the use of biobased materials and products as replacements for petroleum-based products. Some examples that will be discussed include: cellulosic plastic based green composites with improved properties over polypropylene based biocomposites; reactive blending of soy-based plastics; novel hybrid plasticization of soy protein based plastic to produce a balance in stiffness-toughness. www.oznet.ksu.edu /pr_apuf/Drzal.htm   (186 words)

Guardian Unlimited Life From the cells up Biological engineers want to design viruses, for example, that keep the organism's useful properties (such as getting genetic material into a cell, for example) but engineer out the bad parts (such as inflammation). At 3bn base pairs, producing a full human genome would still be costly but bacterial and viral genomes (the T7 has about 60,000 base pairs) are well within reach. This means that synthesising strands of DNA is relatively expensive - about $2 per base pair of nucleotides (the letters of the genetic alphabet). www.guardian.co.uk /life/feature/story/0,13026,1433654,00.html   (2348 words)
