About This Course

This 3-day virtual hands-on workshop focuses on nano-enabled bioplastics for sustainable materials and product innovation. Participants will learn how biopolymers such as starch, cellulose, chitosan, alginate, PLA, and PHA can be combined with nano-additives like nanocellulose, nano-clay, ZnO, TiO₂, and silver nanoparticles to develop functional bioplastic films and edible coatings. The workshop covers formulation design, film preparation, testing, applications, and lab-to-market product development. Using tools such as Excel, Google Sheets, Canva, Miro, ImageJ, FTIR, SEM, XRD, TGA, and tensile testing, participants will design formulations and develop a nano-bioplastic product concept for packaging, biomedical, agricultural, or sustainable applications.

Aim

This workshop aims to provide practical knowledge on the design and development of nano-enabled bioplastics for sustainable and eco-friendly applications. Participants will learn how biopolymers and nanomaterials can be combined to create advanced biodegradable materials with enhanced mechanical, barrier, and antimicrobial properties. The program focuses on formulation design, characterization, and product innovation pathways. It bridges biotechnology, nanotechnology, and sustainable materials engineering.
