Handbook of Natural Polymers, Volume 3 Versatile Applications

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Sreekala M.S., Ravindran Lakshmipriya, Goda Koichi, Thomas Sabu

The Handbook of Natural Polymers Volume Three : Versatile Applications explores advanced and emerging applications of polymers from natural sources. The book introduces the state-of-the-art, along with opportunities in natural polymers with advanced applications before presenting coverage of natural polymers applied to specific cutting-edge applications. Areas covered include biosensing, drug carriers, cosmetics, tissue engineering, textiles, adhesives and coatings, food, super adsorbents, automotive and construction, 3D printing, paper, nanoelectronics, energy storage, military, smart devices, water purification, dentistry, agriculture, and packaging. In each case, a methodical approach enables readers to understand natural polymer sources, preparation, properties, appropriate applications, emerging materials and new avenues. The final two chapters consider end-of-life themes, including environmental remediation of natural polymers and their transformation to biofuels. As part of a Three-volume handbook offering comprehensive coverage of natural polymers, this book will be of interest to all those looking to gain a broad knowledge of natural polymers, including academic researchers, scientists, advanced students, engineers and R&D professionals from a range of disciplines and industries.
