Biofabrication is one of most promising sustainable technologies for production of materials, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and many other products for everyday life. Topochemical engineering is a new strategy to enhance biofabrication and to tackle current challenges for a better life quality.
Topochemical engineering is a method of designing the fractionation (disassembly) and fabrication (assembly) of highly engineered functional materials using a combination of molecular and supramolecular techniques. Topochemical engineering is inspired on bioassembly observed in natural systems such trees and microorganisms.
Biofabrication is a sustainable technology to produce biological polymers and molecules for applications as materials, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and other relevant products for everyday life. Biological polymers and molecules can be disassembled from biomass or produced in a bioreactor combined with synthetic biology.
