The field of bio-based plastics has developed significantly in the
last 10 years and there is increasing pressure on industries to
shift existing materials production from petrochemicals to
renewables. Bio-based Plastics presents an up-to-date overview of
the basic and applied aspects of bioplastics, focusing primarily on
thermoplastic polymers for material use. Emphasizing materials
currently in use or with significant potential for future
applications, this book looks at the most important biopolymer
classes such as polysaccharides, lignin, proteins and
polyhydroxyalkanoates as raw materials for bio-based plastics, as
well as materials derived from bio-based monomers like lipids,
poly(lactic acid), polyesters, polyamides and polyolefines.
Detailed consideration is also given to the market and availability
of renewable raw materials, the importance of bio-based content and
the aspect of biodegradability. Topics covered include: * Starch *
Cellulose and cellulose acetate * Materials based on chitin and
chitosan * Lignin matrix composites from natural resources *
Polyhydroxyalkanoates * Poly(lactic acid) * Polyesters, Polyamides
and Polyolefins from biomass derived monomers * Protein-based
plastics Bio-based Plastics is a valuable resource for academic and
industrial researchers who are interested in new materials,
renewable resources, sustainability and polymerization technology.
It will also prove useful for advanced students interested in the
development of bio-based products and materials, green and
sustainable chemistry, polymer chemistry and materials science. For
