9th International Conference on
Fiber and Polymer Biotechnology
Osaka, Japan, 7-9 Sep 2016
Welcome to the official website of 9th International Conference on Fiber and Polymer Biotechnology, IFPB 2016 will be held on September 7-9, 2016, Osaka, Japan. IFPB 2016 aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers, and scholar students to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of Fiber Processing and Biotechnology, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.
IFPB 2016 is a joint conference with “Textile Biotechnology Symposia 2016 (TBS)” and “40th annual meeting of Advanced Fiber Materials Research Committee (AFMc)”.
We hope to see you in Osaka, Japan!
Topics !
