They are currently partially or totally produced using fossil-based sources, with evident issues linked to their end of life, as their waste generates an increasing environmental concern. On the contrary, biopolymers and active biomolecules from biobased sources could be used to produce new materials that are highly compatible with the skin and also biodegradable. The final products can be obtained by exploiting safe and smart nanotechnologies such as the extrusion of bionanocomposites and electrospinning/electrospray, as well as innovative surface modification and control methodologies. For all these reasons, recently, many researchers, such as those involved in the European POLYBIOSKIN project activities, have been working in the field of biomaterials with anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, as well as biobased materials which are renewable and biodegradable. The present book gathered research and review papers dedicated to materials and technologies for high-performance products where the attention paid to health and environmental impact is efficiently integrated, considering both the skin-compatibility of the selected materials and their source/end of life.Research and information: generalbicsscactives substancesanti-inflammatoryanti-microbialantibacterial materialsantifoulingantimicrobialantiviralbeauty masksbio-basedbiocompatibilitybiodegradablebiodegradationbiomedical devicebiopolyestersbiopolymerbiopolymersblendsbreast implantchitin nanofibrilschitin-lignin nanocomplexchitosanchronic woundcn-nl/gacoatingear prosthesiselectrospinningelectrosprayessential oilsexopolysaccharidesgrafting fromhyperspectral imaginglactide oligomersn/ananocompositenanofibernanoligninnirpartial least squares regressionPHBVPLAplatelet-rich fibrinpoly(butylene succinate)poly(hydroxyalkanoate)poly(lactic acid)poly(lactide)polyhydroxyalkanotesprincipal component analysispullulanreleasingskinskin compatibilityskin compatibleskin woundsspectroscopystarchsugarcane molassessurface modificationtissue engineeringwound dressingwound healingResearch and information: generalColtelli Maria Beatriceedt1325341Danti SerenaedtColtelli Maria BeatriceothDanti SerenaothBOOK9910557130003321High Performance Functional Bio-based Polymers for Skin-contact Products3036770UNINA
