Description
In today's world, bioplastics are becoming increasinglyprominent owing mainly to scarcity of oil, increase in the cost ofpetroleum-based commodities, and growing environmental concernswith the dumping of non-biodegradable plastics in landfills. Thisbook summarizes the field of bioplastics by illustrating how theyform a unique class of research area that integrates pure andapplied sciences such as chemistry, engineering and materialsscience, to initate solutions. Compelling science demystics thiscomplex and often ambiguous branch of study for benefit of allthose concerned with bioplastics.
Reviews / Votes
"It is well written with plenty of illustrations anduseful literature references. Studies that expand the boundaries ofbioplastics that will allow for the new materials to be applied tomost generic engineering applications." (Bioplastics, 1 February 2012)More details
