創(chuàng)建生物經(jīng)濟的目標對農(nóng)業(yè)、林業(yè)、學術界、政府和工業(yè)都具有挑戰(zhàn)性。地球的可開采資源是有限的，不管何時它們將被耗盡的爭論。預計對生物基化學品、材料和能源的經(jīng)濟、政治和社會需求將徹底改變材料工業(yè)，特別是塑料工業(yè)和生物燃料工業(yè)。這些變化將基于可持續(xù)性、生態(tài)效率、工業(yè)生態(tài)學和綠色化學和工程的原則。隨著這一領域知識的增長，人們迫切需要一個論壇來分享有關生物材料和生物能源的原始研究。《生物基材料與生物能源雜志》（JBMB）是為滿足這些研究領域的交流需求而創(chuàng)建的國際同行評審期刊。本雜志將涵蓋科學、工程和生命科學的所有領域的相關研究活動。JBMB通過及時的最新評論（包括作者的照片和傳記）和包含基礎研究和應用研究的簡短交流，出版原創(chuàng)、完整的論文。為了加快審查進程，我們將提供所有以電子形式提交的文章的在線參考。作者將獲得以下好處：條款的電子提交快速評論出版時間很快無頁面收費任意顏色（兩端對齊）杰出編委會提供印刷版和在線版研究主題包括（但不限于）一般來說，《生物基材料與生物能源雜志》將涵蓋與生物驅動/生物基材料與能源相關的所有研究領域，包括其在科學、工程和生命科學的所有領域的應用。石油儲量的消耗及其不斷上漲的價格和日益嚴重的環(huán)境污染使得開發(fā)從生物質/可再生資源中獲得的材料成為必要。研究人員和實業(yè)家正在尋求開發(fā)新的環(huán)保型綠色/生物產(chǎn)品和其他創(chuàng)新技術，以減少我們對日益減少的石油資源的依賴。由于環(huán)境污染日益嚴重，基于生物/綠色/可再生資源的材料是未來的潮流。這種協(xié)同效應推動了新材料和新產(chǎn)品的使用增加，這些新材料和新產(chǎn)品與環(huán)境兼容，獨立于化石燃料。這些真正的要求和需求可以通過基礎研究來滿足，從而開發(fā)下一代材料和燃料。環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟因素也推動了生物基原料和化學品的更多使用。世界上許多領先的公司都對生物基材料、生物燃料和相關加工技術制定了雄心勃勃的計劃。生物基材料在包裝、運輸、建筑、消費品、電子等許多領域有著廣泛的用途。期刊的范圍包括：生物基聚合物和混合物生物基復合材料和納米復合材料生物基材料加工技術生物基材料的生命周期分析及社會影響生物基材料的環(huán)境影響生物質生物燃料及相關加工發(fā)展生命周期分析以及生物燃料的社會和環(huán)境影響等。

The goal of the creation of a biobased economy is challenging to agriculture, forestry, academia, government and industry. The extractable resources of the Earth are finite, regardless of the quibble over when they will be depleted. The economic, political and social demands for biobased chemicals, materials and energy are expected to radically transform the materials industries, particularly the plastics industry as well as the biofuel industry. These changes will be based on the principles of sustainability, eco-efficiency, industrial ecology, and green chemistry and engineering. In keeping with the growth of knowledge in this field, there is a strong need for a forum to share original research related to biobased materials and bioenergy. The Journal of Biobased Materials and Bioenergy (JBMB) has been created as an international peer-reviewed periodical to fulfill the need for communication in these research areas. This journal will encompass related research activities in all fields of science, engineering and the life sciences. JBMB publishes original, full length papers using timely state-of-the-art reviews (with author's photo and biography) and short communications encompassing fundamental and applied research. To speed up the reviewing process, we will provide on-line refereeing of all articles submitted in electronic form. Authors will receive the following benefits:Electronic submission of articlesFast reviewsRapid times to publicationNo page chargesFree color where justifiedDistinguished editorial boardAvailability in print and online editionsRESEARCH TOPICS COVERED (but not limited to)Generally, the Journal of Biobased Materials and Bioenergy will cover all aspects of research related to bioderived/biobased materials and energy, including their applications in all fields of science, engineering and the life sciences. The depletion of petroleum reserves and its ever increasing price and the growing environmental pollution have necessitated the development of materials derived from biomass/renewable resources. Researchers and industrialists are seeking to develop new eco-friendly green/biobased products and other innovative technologies that will reduce our dependence on dwindling petroleum resources. Biobased/green/renewable resource based materials are the wave of the future because of the growing environmental pollution. This synergy is driving the increased use of new materials and products that are compatible with the environment and independent of fossil fuels. Such genuine requirements and needs can be fulfilled through fundamental research thereby developing the next generation of materials and fuels. Environmental and economic factors are also driving for the greater use of biobased feedstocks and chemicals. Many leading companies across the world have ambitious plans for biobased materials, biofuels and related processing technologies. Biobased materials have a wide range of uses in packaging, transportation, construction, consumer goods, electronics and many other fields. The scope of the journal will be in the areas of:Biobased Polymers and BlendsBiobased Composites and NanocompositesBiobased Materials Processing TechnologiesLife Cycle Analysis and Social Impacts of Biobased MaterialsEnvironmental Impacts of Biobased MaterialsBiofuels from Biomass and Related Processing DevelopmentsLife Cycle Analysis as well as Social and Environmental Impact of Biofuels, etc.
