Since the early 1970s the subject of biodegradable plastics has
acquired a rapidly growing literature of academic research papers.
It has also acquired a formidable volume of patent documentation
and all this has been over whelmed by an astonishing quantity of
serious media and political com ment. A new entrant into any
technical arena w. ould, in most technologies, simply visit their
technical library and pick up a text book on the subject in the
expectation of absorbing the basic facts before launching into the
daily task of updating and evaluating. Scientific conferences have
produced many substantial volumes carrying the word 'biodegradable'
on their covers, and there has even been a specialist monograph on
the topic of bacterially produced polymers but, surprisingly, no
book has yet emerged providing a general survey of the subject.
Having devoted half my pro fessional career to the subject of
biodegradable plastics I agreed to take on the editorial job of
producing such a book when asked by the publisher. I knew that the
task of finding expert specialists and persuading them to
contribute dispassionate accounts of their specialisms would not be
easy, but the difficulties that I have encountered were far greater
than I expected. Some were simply too busy, others were involved in
patent disputes or commercial negotiations. In giving an account of
the work that I and my students carried out at BruneI University I
believe that I have written in a manner that displays enthusiasm
without prejudice."
