Environmentally compatible polymers (green polymers) are the key to
sustainable developments for our rich and convenient life. In order
to develop green polymers, it is essential to understand that
nature constructs a variety of materials that can be used. Plant
materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are the
largest organic resources.
Thermal Properties of Green Polymers and Biocomposites is unique in
that it introduces thermal analysis applicable to green polymers
and provides fundamental thermal properties of cellulose,
polysaccharides and lignin. The book includes over 370 figures
concerning thermal properties of green polymers with detailed
experimental conditions. It also introduces newly patented
environmentally compatible green polymers. Thermal properties
provided include: thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal
analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),
thermomechanometry (TMA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).
This book covers two domains:
-Fundamentals of thermal properties of cellulose,
polysaccharides and lignin (Chapters 3 to 5);
-Developments of new biocompatible polymers derived from plant
materials (Chapters 6 to 8). This book is aimed at advanced users
and specialists who are interested in green polymers and who
utilize thermal analyses for the above polymers, especially in
research laboratories, both academic and industrial.
