International Symposium on Biopolymers 2024 (ISBP2024)

20 - 23 October 2024
Penang, Malaysia

With great delight, we announce the 19th edition, ISBP 2024, scheduled to take place from October 20 to 23 on the beautiful Penang Island of Malaysia. 

The ISBP 2024 aims to showcase the latest advancements in various aspects of biopolymers with the theme of ‘Towards Safe and Sustainable Biopolymers for our Future’. The topics to be explored include engineering advances in biopolymer synthesis, biosynthesis and characterization of novel biopolymers, exploring building blocks for bio-based polymers, biodegradation pathways, environmental impacts of biopolymers, sustainable feedstocks for biopolymer production, challenges in industrial production of biopolymers, PHA waste management, exploration of other biopolymers and bio-based polymers, applications of novel biopolymers in various industries, and rubber biosynthesis and biodegradation. 

We anticipate that ISBP 2024 will stimulate further advancements in the realm of environmentally friendly polymers and their diverse applications. We are particularly excited to organise this event in conjunction with the commemoration of 100 years of research in PHA, initiated by the French researcher Maurice Lemoigne in 1926. Your participation holds immense value, and we extend our sincere gratitude for your contribution.
