      Workshop: Introduction to biopolymers for textile applications The bio-fabric workshop aims to broaden the territory of traditional textile design and introduce students to contemporary shaping techniques and processes through experimentation with organic resources. At the end of this week-long creative research workshop, students should be able to: • Understand the challenges and opportunities related to the production of fibers, yarns, and textiles dedicated to the fashion industry• Know the different categories of biopolymers used for textile fibers• Recognize the principles of green chemistry and the sustainable development goals applied to the manufacturing of fibers and textilesThe workshop combines theoretical knowledge and practical exercises on three main themes:1. Biopolymers, the future of fashion?2. Polymers for textile fibers3. Biosynthesis of polymers for textile applications Show less
