Abstract
For the development of technical applications of polymers from renewab le resources, various biopolymers are being studied. In this paper, th e opportunities for industrial proteins on this market are discussed e .g. for use in (technical) coatings, adhesives, surfactants and plasti cs. The use of protein modifications for the improvement of functional properties relevant for technical applications is addressed.
