A Handbook of Applied Biopolymer Technology Synthesis, Degradation and Applications
Researchers are conducting active research in different fields of engineering,
science and technology by adopting the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry and
the inherent green methodologies to devise new processes with a view to help
protect and ultimately save the environment from further anthropogenic
interruptions and damage. With this in focus, this book provides an up-todate,
coherently written and objectively presented set of book chapters from
eminent international researchers who are actively involved in academic and
technological research in the synthesis, degradation, testing and applications of
biodegradable polymers and biopolymers. Hence, the overall pool of latest
ideas and recent research and technological progress achieved in the synthesis,
degradation, testing and applications of biodegradable polymers/biopolymers
together with a high level of thinking have been presented in a comprehensive
perspective to make progress in the emerging field of biodegradable polymer
science and engineering (or bio-based polymers). The element of environmental
sustainability as linked to biopolymer technology also constitutes the
essence and novelty of this very relevant book in today’s era of environmental
depredation.
This book consists of book chapters written and contributed by international
experts from academia who are world leaders in research and technology
regarding sustainability and biopolymer and biodegradable polymer synthesis,
characterization, testing and use. The book highlights the following areas: Green
polymers; Biopolymers and bionanocomposites; Biodegradable and injectable
polymers; Biodegradable polyesters: Synthesis and physical properties; Discovery
and characterization of biopolymers; Degradable bioelastomers, Lactic acidbased
biodegradable polymers; Biodegradation of biodegradable polymers;
Biodegradation of polymers in the composting environment; and Recent research
and application development in biodegradable polymers. The book is aimed at
technical, research-oriented and marketing people in industry, universities and
institutions. The book will also be of value to the worldwide public interested in
sustainability issues and biopolymer development and as well as others interested
in the practical means that are being used to reduce the environmental impacts of
chemical processes and products, to further eco-efficiency, and to advance the
utilization of renewable resources in bio-based production and the supplier chain.
