Biopolymer Nanocomposites

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.
