The Biopolymer Database offers comprehensive material data about biopolymers, their applications and a multitude of related aspects. Access to this system is free of charge.

Literature

Literature Database

This module offers access to relevant literature related to bioplastics. As a start this comprises of the full content of the definitive book "Engineering Bioplasics" by Endres/Siebert-Raths. Other sources are to follow.

Toolbox

This module is under construction. It will offer software tools to support the material selection.

Application Database

Access to the Application Database

The application database offers access to case studies for biopolymers.

Tradenames

Access to the Tradename Register

This module contains information about tradenames of biopolymers an related products, as well as the corresponding producers.

Material

Access to the Biopolymer Database

The material database contains technical information about biopolymers, which was collected from the producers of the materials. In addition specific material tests were performed in order to provide reliable and comparable technical data.

Since this database is supposed to support the industry for practical decisions, the system contains only materials which are available on a commercial scale.

Producers and Processors

Producers and Processors

This module contains comprehensive and structured information about producers of biopolymers, producers of biopolymer films and producers of additives.
