Trends and Applications

322 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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.Chapters 5, 6 and 11 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
