Biopolymers and Their Industrial Applications: From Plant, Animal, and Marine Sources, to Functional Products

Biopolymers and Their Industrial Applications: From Plant, Animal, and Marine Sources to Functional Products?is a detailed guide to the use of biopolymers for advanced applications across a range of key industries.\n\nIn terms of processing and cost, bio-based polymers are becoming increasingly viable for an ever-broadening range of novel industrial applications. The book begins with an overview of biopolymers, explaining resources, demands, sustainability, life cycle assessment (LCA) modeling and simulation, and classifications. Further in-depth chapters explore the latest techniques and methodologies for isolation and physicochemical characterization, materials selection, and processing for blends and composites.Biopolymers and Their Industrial Applications: From Plant, Animal, and Marine Sources, to Functional Products and published by Elsevier (S&T).
