Description

This handbook focuses on biopolymers for both environmental andbiomedical applications. It shows recent advances intechnology in all areas from chemical synthesis or biosynthesis toend use applications. These areas have not been covered in a singlebook before and they include biopolymers for chemical andbiotechnological modifications, material structures,characterization, processing, properties, and applications. After the introduction which summarizes the importance ofbiopolymer in the market, the book covers almost all the topicsrelated to polysaccharides, biofibers, bioplastics, biocomposites,natural rubber, gums, bacterial and blood compatible polymers, andapplications of biopolymers in various fields.
