Applied Biopolymer Technology and Bioplastics: Sustainable Development by Green Engineering Materials Volova Tatiana G.

With growing concern for the environment and the rising price of crude oil, there is increasing demand for non-petroleum-based polymers from renewable resources. The book highlights the importance and impact of eco-friendly green biopolymers and bioplastics, both environmentally and economically. Recognizing emerging developments in biopolymer systems research, this book brings together a number of key biopolymer and bioplastic topics in one place.

It provides important insight into the diversity of polymers obtained directly from, or derived from, renewable resources.This volume, Applied Biopolymer Technology and Bioplastics: Sustainable Development by Green Engineering Materials, will be valuable for a broad audience of engineers and scientists, especially those designing with biopolymers and biodegradable plastics, or evaluating the options for switching from
