Bio-Based Polymers and Composites is the first book systematically
describing the green engineering, chemistry and manufacture of
biobased polymers and composites derived from plants.
This book gives a thorough introduction to bio-based material
resources, availability, sustainability, biobased polymer
formation, extraction and refining technologies, and the need for
integrated research and multi-disciplinary working teams. It
provides an in-depth description of adhesives, resins, plastics,
and composites derived from plant oils, proteins, starches, and
natural fibers in terms of structures, properties, manufacturing,
and product performance. This is an excellent book for scientists,
engineers, graduate students and industrial researchers in the
field of bio-based materials.
* First book describing the utilization of crops to make high
performance plastics, adhesives, and composites
* Interdisciplinary approach to the subject, integrating genetic
engineering, plant science, food science, chemistry, physics,
nano-technology, and composite manufacturing.
* Explains how to make green materials at low cost from soyoil,
proteins, starch, natural fibers, recycled newspapers, chicken
feathers and waste agricultural by-products.
