One Line Description
The book deals with the chemical aspects of polymers from marine origin, waterborne polymers and water-resistant polymers and well as environmentally-friendly polymers.

Audience
The book should be used by researchers and engineers in chemistry, polymer science, materials science, environmental engineering, biotechnology, as well as by people in the marine construction industry.

Description

This book focuses on the chemistry of marine polymers, waterborne polymers, and water-resistant polymers, as well as the special applications of these materials. After the chemistry of marine polymers and their types are discussed, the uses of these polymers are detailed, as well as various analytical and characterization testing methods. The book also emphasizes the polymers that are most environmentally-friendly along with their origin and industrial applications. The polymers from these 3 types serve a variety of industries including medical equipment and devices, outdoor coatings and corrosion protection, food packaging, saltwater and freshwater marine purposes such as marine ropes, boat coatings, and pipeline protection, and marine well application, to name just a few.
