Abstract
Biopolymers have a wide use in bioengineering due to their antimicrobial, antioxidant and non-toxic properties. In this seminar, production of three dimensional biopolymers from different organisms together with their characterization and application areas will be presented. Biopolymers to be mentioned in the presentation are chitin, chitosan, cellulose and biosilica. The application areas of the produced 3D materials are i) drug loading and releasing properties, ii) food coating to increase the shelf life, iii) bio-cup production for healthy weight loss, iv) biological mesh samples to be used in surgical operations, v) production of multifunctional porous bioactive micro silica beads from a sponge for biomedical applications. In a general summary, the studies carried out by BIPEMAS research group in recent years and the projects that are planned for future will be mentioned.
