About this title

From the Back Cover

It is expected that the use of renewable materials in paints, inks and glues will continue to grow as new renewable raw materials become available. Institutional research towards their use is bearing fruit, resulting in drop-in alternatives to fossil-based commodities, new non-drop-in molecules with different properties and behaviour, new chemical and bio-chemical manufacturing processes, and new value chains for their commercialization.

Providing a detailed survey of renewable raw materials, this book is ideal for researchers and practitioners working in the areas of green chemistry, industrial chemistry and sustainability. Beginning with a brief history of coatings and adhesives, this book walks the reader through the chemistry, properties, sourcing and processing of a number of renewable raw materials, including lipids, natural resins, proteins, and carbohydrates. Their use in a range of recent developments and concepts from material protection to decorative paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants are highlighted, providing the reader with a complete and modern foundation to the field.
