The drive towards the bio-economy is making bio-based materials more important in many applications.
Starbons® are a novel family of mesoporous polysaccharide based carbonaceous materials developed at the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence (GCCE), University of York, with surface functionalities tunable from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. This novel technology produces a Starbon® continuum of mesoporous materials from polysaccharides to activated carbon. Starbons® are now moving towards the early stages of commercialisation. Starenes are a new class of materials combining Starbon® and Graphene characteristics.
Why Attend
This conference would be of interest to those working in the areas of:

Why Attend
- Listen to talks from experts in research and technology across various fields of bio-based carbons, such as Dr Robin White, Fraunhofer ISE
- Learn about the current research and development surrounding Starbons® and Starenes
- Discover how we have taken Starbons® from the lab and developed it into a commercially available product which is now being manufactured
- Opportunities for knowledge transfer, discussion and networking.
This conference would be of interest to those working in the areas of:
- Bio-based materials
- Heterogeneous/supported catalysis
- Water purification
- Activated carbon and other porous materials
