Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes
that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous
substances. Green polymer chemistry is an extension of green
chemistry to polymer science and engineering. Developments in this
area have been stimulated by health and environmental concerns,
interest in sustainability, desire to decrease the dependence on
petroleum, and opportunities to design and produce "green" products
and processes. Major advances include new uses of biobased
feedstock, green reactions, green processing methodologies, and
green polymeric products. A current feature of green polymer
chemistry is that it is both global and multidisciplinary. Thus,
publications in this field are spread out over different journals
in different countries. Moreover, a successful research effort may
involve collaborations of people in various disciplines, such as
organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, material science, chemical
engineering, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology,
enzymology, toxicology, environmental science, and analytical
chemistry. This book combines the major interdisciplinary research
in this field and is targeted for scientists, engineers, and
students, who are involved or interested in green polymer
chemistry. These may include chemists, biochemists, material
scientists, chemical engineers, microbiologists, molecular
biologists, enzymologists, toxicologists, environmental scientists,
and analytical chemists. It can be a textbook for a course on green
chemistry and also a reference book for people who need information
on specific topics involving biocatalysis and biobased materials.
