Synthetic and semi-synthetic polymeric materials were originally
developed for their durability and resistance to all forms of
degradation including biodegradation. Such materials are currently
widely accepted because of their ease of processability and
amenability to provide a large variety of cost effective items that
help to enhance the comfort and quality of life in the modern
industrial society. However, this widespread utilization of
plastics has contributed to a serious plastic waste burden, and the
expectation for the 21st century is for an increased demand for
polymeric material. This volume focuses on a more rational
utilization of resources in the fabrication, consumption and
disposal of plastic items, specifically: -Environmentally
Degradable Polymeric Materials (EDPs); -Water-soluble/Swellable
Biodegradable Polymers; -EDPs from Renewable Resources;
-Biopolymers; -Bioresorbable Materials for Biomedical Applications;
-Biorelated Polymers; -Standards and Regulations on EDPs.
