This webinar “Advances in Biobased Polymeric Materials in Building and Construction “ is to present the main types of polymers used in building and construction, to highlight the properties which make it an appropriate choice of material and to list examples of their applications.
Prof. Dr. Patrick M. Martin (Universite d'Artois, France) will chair the webinar.
The first speaker will be Dr. Ubirajara P. Rodrigues-Filho, from University of São Paulo (Brazil). His presentation will concern Acid Hybrid Urethanesils as Antimicrobial Platforms.
Dr. Anh Dung Tran Le, from Université de Picardie Jules Verne (France), will be the second speaker. He will discuss impact of VOC and moisture buffering capacities of bio-based building materials on IAQ and hygrothermal comfort.
Dr. Marco Caniato, from Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy), the third speaker, will explore traditional methods of recycling wastes, a new method using a biobased matrix, and future developments.
The fourth speaker will be Dr. Nathalie Leblanc from Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy) and will explore with a technical overview the French plant resources with potential for materials intended for eco-construction.
The presentations will be followed by a Q&A Session and Discussion moderated by the Chairs. The webinar is offered via Zoom and requires registration to attend. The full recording will be found on Sciforum website. Next webinars on Sustainable Chemistry will be announced on the journal website.

On Wednesday, 27 October 2021, MDPI and the Journal Sustainable Chemistry organized the 2nd webinar on Sustainable Chemistry, entitled "Advances in Biobased Polymeric Materials in Building and Construction". The introduction was held by the Chairs of the webinar, Prof. Dr. Patrick Martin and Dr. Vincent Dubois.
The first speaker to quick off this webinar was Dr. Ubirajara P. Rodrigues-Filho, with his presentation "Acid Hybrid Urethanesils as Antimicrobial Platforms". The second presentation with the title "Impact of VOC and moisture buffering capacities of bio-based building materials on IAQ and hygrothermal comfort" was held by Dr. Anh Dung Tran Le. The third presentation "Traditional methods of recycling wastes, a new method using a biobased matrix, and future developments" was held by Dr. Marco Caniato. The last presenter was Dr. Nathalie Leblanc with her presentation "Technical overview of French plant resources with potential for materials intended for eco-construction".
The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chairs Prof. Dr. Patrick Martin and Dr. Vincent Dubois. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
