EnglishAbstract
Biobased biodegradable polymers are emerging as an alternative to fossil fuel-based plastics. Biodegradable Polymers, Blends and Biocomposites: Trends and Applications discusses trends in the development of microbial/other renewable source-based bioplastic products, their blends and biocomposites applications in various industrial fields. It covers biodegradable polymeric materials preparation, extraction, formulation, modification of properties, product development and applications and end-of-life options. Furthermore, the book discusses topics like bioplastic resources, isolation procedures, utilization at commercial level and markets and economy.
Features:
Explains emerging application possibilities of biobased biodegradable polymers.
Provides detailed application notes on agricultural waste-based bioplastics.
Covers microbial and agro-based biocomposites and their applications.
Summarizes bioplastic degradation and blending research.
Discusses application possibilities of biobased biodegradable polymers.
The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in polymers and composites.
