About this title

Synopsis:

This book is unique in its focus on market-relevant bio/renewable materials. It is based on comprehensive research projects, during which these materials were systematically analyzed and characterized. For the first time the interested reader will find comparable data not only for biogenic polymers and biological macromolecules, such as proteins, but also for engineering materials. The reader will also find valuable information regarding topics such as micro-structure, manufacturing, and processing, application, and recycling properties of commercially available biopolymers. An invaluable source of information for researchers and engineers, as well as for marketing and business development. Raw material manufacturers, plastic materials and additive providers, processors, machine manufacturers, and innovative packaging, textile, and automotive manufacturers will find systematically researched and evaluated material characteristics.
