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 ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº 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​
- 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:
