The project’s results regarding the implementation of biomaterial-based manufacturing will be integrated into the training material used. This will allow the creation of a skilled workforce by the education and training of students as well as experienced workers in manufacturing technologies for bio-based materials.
The training is funded (free of charge) but enrolment is compulsory.
Past sessions:
Macromolecules in Nature Lecture
This lecture explores natural and modified biogenic polymers, highlighting materials like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) for their sustainable applications and versatile properties.
Spatial Structure of Macromolecules Nature Lecture
This lecture examines the spatial structures of macromolecules, focusing on synthesizing flexible biopolymers from organic waste.
Themal anlysis of biopolymers Workshop
This workshop focuses on thermal analysis of biopolymers, covering sample preparation and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to assess thermal properties like glass transition, melting, and crystallization temperatures, as well as crystallinity.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Workshop
This workshop covers the concept of Life Cycle Analysis, including its applications, standards, phases, inventory for textile products, environmental impact categories and the main IT tools used to support this type of study.
Textile-based biocomposites Lecture
This talk, in partnership with the be@t project, aims to share advances in textile-based biocomposites in terms of sustainability, including manufacturing methodologies such as 3D printing with natural fibres, bio-based combined yarns and bioprepregs.
Inkjet printing and bio-based inks Workshop
This workshop covers trends and innovations in digital printing in the textile sector. With the focus on bio-based inks, it includes not only the most recent technologies in the field as well as case studies and results obtained in the W2BC project.
Alternative Fibres Lecture
This lecture aims to explore sustainable and innovative approaches to the production of textile fibres as well as lower-impact alternatives already available on the market.
End-of-life alternatives Workshop
This workshop looks at end-of-life alternatives for printed products, focusing on environmental challenges and the importance of sustainable and circular practices. It includes colour removal and reprinting methods, as well as case studies and results obtained in the W2BC project.
