This book is a comprehensive introduction to “green” or environmentally friendly polymer composites developed using renewable polymers of natural origin such as starch, lignin, cellulose acetate, poly-lactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxylalkanoates (PHA), polyhydroxylbutyrate (PHB), etc., and the development of modern technologies for preparing green composites with various applications. The book also discusses major applications of green polymer composites in industries such as medicine, biotechnology, fine chemicals and engineering.
Features
- Introduces green polymer composites in a comprehensive fashion
- Focuses on a growing need for renewable polymers to replace non-biodegradable polymers
- Provides an exhaustive treatment of green polymer composites and their design, synthesis and processing
- Includes real-life case studies covering applications in medicine, biotechnology, fine chemicals and engineering
- Discusses the manufacture of green polymer composites
