The words presented in the epigraph are particularly true today.
This slogan is sensible for us to do so in science, in particular
in the area of New Materials and applications of biomaterials for
common uses. We, the editors of this volume, have carried out a
selection and seemingly have chosen enough of good reviews and
unique works in the branch of biodegradable polymers and
sustainable composites. These works were presented during the 1st
International Conference on Biodegradable Polymers and Sustainable
Composites held in Alicante (October 2007).The use of conventional
polymeric packaging materials obtained from non-renewable sources
represents an important environmental impact and waste generation
after their use. Biopolymers have received an increased interest
lately due to more environmentally aware consumers, increased price
of crude oil and global warming. These polymers are naturally
occurring polymers that are found in all living organisms and they
fulfil all the environmental concerns (renewable raw materials and
relatively good biodegradability). As a result their use will have
a less negative effect on our environment compared to petroleum
based materials, but they show some limitations in terms of
performance (thermal resistance, barrier and mechanical properties)
as well as associated costs. Apparently, these works are at the
front edge of science and will be of interest for high readership
of scientists and students in the branch of chemistry and physics
of polymers and composites.
