The BIO-MIMETIC project will generate a new class of bio-inspired polymers via extraction of natural compounds from renewable resources. These polymers with novel properties will be produced through a new biological transformation route, involving environmentally friendly enzymatic processes, inspired by polymerisation processes in nature.
The novel BIO-MIMETIC process-route will use renewable resources. New enzymes will be developed to transform bio-mass into bio-based polymers that can be conjugated or cross-linked into novel polymeric structures for consumer products.
