advances and multifaceted applications Ahmed, Shakeel 1989- editor. Kanchi, Suvardhan editor. Kumar, Gopalakrishnan editor. text bibliography si 2019 monographic eng 1 online resource : illustrations (some color) Biopolymers have the potential to cut carbon emissions and reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide released when they degrade can be reabsorbed by plants, which makes them close to carbon neutral. Biopolymers are biodegradable and some are compostable, too. This book presents key topics on biopolymers, including their synthesis, characterization, and physiochemical properties, and discusses their applications in key areas such as biomedicine, agriculture, and environmental engineering. It will serve as an in-depth reference for the biopolymer industry--material suppliers and processors, producers, and fabricators--and engineers and scientists who are designing biopolymers or evaluating options for switching from traditional plastics to biopolymers. edited by Shakeel Ahmed, Suvardhan Kanchi, Gopalakrishnan Kumar.
