About this book

The growing interest in replacing petroleum-based products by inexpensive, renewable, natural materials will have a significant impact on sustainability, environment, and the polymer industry. This book provides scientists a useful framework to help take advantage of the latest research conducted in this rapidly advancing field enabling them to develop and commercialize their own products quickly and more successfully.

Latest research into biopolymers including aqueous dispersions, lignin and cellulose-based polymers, starch-based and soy protein-based polymers, plant oils-based and bacterial-based polymers, etc.
