Cover illustration: Polymer and Textile Biotech. Polymer biotechnology has led to highly functional materials with wideranging applications from textiles to medicine. This includes protective clothing, which could for example be used for future space trips, as well as for tissue engineering. This special issue of BTJ, edited by Georg Guebitz, Graz University of Technology, Austria (co‐edited by Giuliano Freddi and Artur Cavaco‐Paulo) provides a broad overview of novel biotechnological approaches for processing of materials and textiles.
