The emphasis in degradable polymers has changed since the first
edition of this book. Biomedical and agricultural applications
remain important topics of scientific and commercial interest in
the second edition. However, an increased emphasis on composting as
a means of recovering value from wastes has led to a new impetus to
understand how plastics degrade in the environment and the
implication of this for international standards. Polymers based on
renewable resources are also a major topic in this edition but the
debate continues about their long-term sustainability and
ecological advantages over degradable man-made polymers.
Degradable Polymers will be of interest not only to academic and
industrial scientists working on packaging, agricultural and
medical applications of plastics but also to students of
environmental science and legislators concerned with the effects of
man-made materials in the environment.
