Abstract:
"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 bioplastics products, their blends, and biocomposites applications in various industrial field. It covers biodegradable polymeric materials preparation, extraction, formulation, modification of properties, products development and applications, and end-of-life options. Furthermore, the book help readers understand the bioplastics resource, isolation procedure, utilization in commercial level and finally markets and economy. It explains emerging application possibilities of biobased biodegradable polymers and provides detailed application note on agricultural waste-based bioplastics. The book also covers microbial and agro based biocomposites and their applications and summarizes bioplastic degradation and blending research while also discussing application possibilities of biobased biodegradable polymers. The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in polymers and composites"--
