Aprašymas

The Handbook of Natural Polymers Volume 3: Versatile Applications is a comprehensive resource which explores advanced and emerging applications of polymers from natural sources.

The book begins by introducing the current state-of-the-art and opportunities in natural polymers with advanced applications, before presenting in-depth coverage of natural polymers as 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 the reader to understand natural polymer sources, preparation, properties, and appropriate application, discovering 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 3-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.
