ABOUT BOOK

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.
