Biopolymer Nanocomposites – Processing, Properties , and Applications
Processing, Properties, and Applications
Samenvatting
Employing biodegradable polymers to create nanocomposites addresses many current environmental concerns, such as waste–disposal problems associated with traditional plastics and the potential to cut carbon emissions and reduce CO
2 quantities. Featuring state–of–the–art techniques and current developments in the field,
Biopolymer Nanocomposites describes the preparation, properties, modification, and application of three popular renewable resources: chitin, starch, and cellulose. The unique, easy–to–follow approach of this timely, practical reference on biopolymer nanocomposites helps industrial practitioners, researchers, and scientists better understand properties and synthesis of biopolymer materials and nanocomposites.
