Industrial bioprocess development also relies heavily upon the use of real-time sensors to
identify promising targets for process improvements, especially in cases involving narrow
profit margins. The following project addressed the development of a type of sensor that
holds great promise for real-time bioreactor sensing.

4. TSE Contributions to the Development of Bioplastics and Biomaterials
A pressing need within the field of biomaterials is the development of consistent, reliable
tools for the assessment of the total environmental impacts of particular products. The TSE
Program has supported numerous mathematical modeling efforts directed toward the
assessment of product and process environmental sustainability at both small and large scales;
even those not specifically intended for biomaterials applications have contributed to the
general development of environmental life cycle analysis thought and are therefore included.
