Scientists are conducting active research in different fields of
engineering, science and technology by adopting the Green Chemistry
Principles and methodologies to devise new processes, with a view
to help protect and ultimately save the environment from further
anthropogenic interruptions and damage. With this in mind, the book
provides an up-to-date, coherently written and objectively
presented set of chapters from eminent international researchers
who are actively involved in academic and technological research in
the synthesis, (bio)degradation, testing and applications of
biodegradable polymers and biopolymers. This pool of the latest
ideas, recent research and technological progress, together with a
high level of thinking with a comprehensive perspective, makes the
emerging field of biodegradable polymer science and engineering (or
bio-based polymers) linked to environmental sustainability, the
essence of this key publication. The handbook consists of chapters
written and contributed by international experts from academia who
are world leaders in research and technology in sustainability and
biopolymer and biodegradable polymer synthesis, characterisation,
testing and use. The book highlights the following areas: green
polymers; biopolymers and bionanocomposites; biodegradable and
injectable polymers; biodegradable polyesters; synthesis and
physical properties; discovery and characterization of biopolymers;
degradable bioelastomers, lactic acid based biodegradable polymers;
enzymatic degradation of biodegradable polymers; biodegradation of
polymers in the composting environment; recent development in
biodegradable polymers; research and applications and biodegradable
foams. The book is aimed at technical, research-orientated and
marketing people in industry, universities and institutions. It
will also be of value to the worldwide public interested in
sustainability issues and biopolymer development as well as others
interested in the practical means that are being used to reduce the
environmental impacts of chemical processes and products, to
further eco-efficiency, and to advance the utilization of renewable
resources for a bio-based production and supplier chain. Readers
will gain a comprehensive and consolidated overview of the immense
potential and ongoing research in bio-based and biodegradable
polymer science, engineering and technology to make the world
greener.
