The biocomposite area is extensive and spans from structured and solid biocomposites (e.g., reinforced bioabsorbable polymers), films (e.g., antimicrobial barriers), to soft biocomposites (e.g., use of alginates, collagen and nanocellulose as components in bioinks for 3D bioprinting). Key aspects in this respect are the appropriate engineering and production of biomaterials, nanofibres, bioplastics, their functionalization enabling intelligent and active materials, processes for effective manufacturing of biocomposites and the corresponding characterization for understanding their properties. The current Special Issue emphasizes the bio-technological engineering of novel biomaterials and biocomposites, considering also important safety aspects in the production and use of bio- and nanomaterials.History of engineering and technologybicsscEncapsulation3D PrintingSurface modificationMicrobiologyCelluloseBiocompatibilityScaffoldsHistory of engineering and technologyCarrasco Gary1278408ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346677603321Novel Biocomposite Engineering and Bio-Applications4319012UNINA
