Industrial Applications of Biopolymers and their Environmental Impact - 9780367652180

Biopolymers represent a carbon emission neutral solution: they are green, eco-friendly, with wide usage for packaging, in the automotive industry, in biomedical engineering, pulp and paper industries, and for the development of new building materials. The book describes the various source raw materials and their properties. The polymerization process, the chemical structure, properties and relationship between structure and properties of biopolymers are also described. This book identifies the drawbacks of biopolymers and how to overcome them by modification methods to enhance compatibility, flexibility, enhanced physicochemical properties, thermal stability, impact response, and rigidity etc. The book bridges the gap between the end-user and researcher, which makes it different from other books on the subject--
