This book discusses development of microbial/other renewable source-based bioplastics products, their blends, and biocomposites applications in various industrial fields. It covers biodegradable polymeric materials preparation, extraction, formulation, modification of properties, products development and applications, and end-of-life options.
Biobased biodegradable polymers are emerging as an alternative to fossil fuel-based plastics. Biodegradable Polymers, Blends and Biocomposites: Trends and Applications discusses trends in the development of microbial/other renewable source-based bioplastic products, their blends and biocomposites applications in various industrial fields. It covers biodegradable polymeric materials preparation, extraction, formulation, modification of properties, product development and applications and end-of-life options. Furthermore, the book discusses topics like bioplastic resources, isolation procedures, utilization at commercial level and markets and economy.
Features:
- Explains emerging application possibilities of biobased biodegradable polymers.
- Provides detailed application notes on agricultural waste-based bioplastics.
- Covers microbial and agro-based biocomposites and their applications.
- Summarizes bioplastic degradation and blending research.
- Discusses application possibilities of biobased biodegradable polymers.
The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in polymers and composites.
