8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON POLYMER AND FIBER BIOTECHNOLOGY BRAGA, PORTUGAL 25-27 MAY 2014 BBOOOOKK OOFF AABBSSTTRRAACCTTSS Dear Participant, On behalf of the IPFB2014 organizing committee, I am honored to welcome you to the 8th Conference Polymer and Fiber Biotechnology taking place at Braga, Portugal. The designations of previous events indicated Textile Biotechnology (2000, Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, 2002; Athens, Georgia, U.S.A; 2004, Graz, Austria; 2006, Seoul, Korea and 2007, Wuxi, China) and Textile and Polymer Biotechnology, (2009, Gent, Belgium and 2011, Milano, Italy) as main topics of discussion. The focus of this year’s event has progressed from textiles to fibres and polymers, as the range of applications greatly widened to include medical, pharma, cosmetics, detergent and industrial aplications. Our expectation is that the IPFB2014 will provide a forum of ample scientific discussion and promotion of cooperation between academia and industry. Sincerely, Artur Cavaco-Paulo Conference Chair SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Giuliano Freddi, Silk Institute – Milano, Italy Georg Guebitz, Boku-Vienna, Austria Ian Hardin, University of Georgia, USA Jinsong Shen, De Montfort University, UK Herman Lenting, TNO, NL Jan Marek, INOTEX, CZ Vincent Nierstrasz, University Boras, Sweden Giovanni Sannia, University of Napoli, Italy Gianluca Ciardelli, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Manfred Zinn, HES-SO Valais, Switzerland Kenzo Koike, Kao Corp., Japan Johan Smets, PG Brussels, Belgium Jian Chen, University Jiangnan, China Eun Kyung Choe, Kitech, South
